Leadership styles are as old as human civilization. From the city state of polis to the modern public governance era, leadership style steers up the organization to a higher level of productivity. It breeds cooperation and motivation among employees. Leadership is essential in the organization. While leadership is different from person to person, it is affected by perception. These perceptions influence expectancies and elicit actions from subordinates. The study measures the leadership style of department heads and division chiefs using the following thematic areas: 1) formulation of organizational objectives; 2) identification of programs and projects; 3) making decisions; 4) handling complaints and issues; 5) and addressing organizational problems. The study also compared their leadership perceptions and determined whether there is significant difference in styles using the classical models of leadership, namely: 1) democratic; 2) autocratic; and 3) delegative. Majority of the respondents (28) perceived that there is no significant difference between their leadership styles.
