Management is both art and science. There is no best way as to which management style is perfect or better. There is no exact formula that this business or that type of company has a certain management style. Also in the framework of leadership style there is no perfect style for a certain company. Each leadership style has its advantages and disadvantages. Finding the right leadership style for one certain company is art in itself. But it must be said that the impact of a certain leadership style has different impacts on different individs. This is the purpose of the study to highlight the impact of leadership style on employee performance. But if we include as a variable the industry or sector where a certain company operates, then the impact that a certain leadership style has on a sector changes. The purpose of the study is to identify the leadership style in the catering sector and how this leadership style affects the performance of employees.
