Abstract: The successful leadership practices improve employee’s outcomes through their values, virtues, dispositions, attributes and competences as well as what they do in terms of the strategies they select and the ways in which they adapt their leadership practices to their unique context in order to achieve the excellent performance. The relationship of leadership styles with social, economic and organizational dimensions of employees in both public and private sectors would enable association between leadership styles and dimensions affecting the leadership styles which in turn would be helpful to identify the key policy variables for improving the leadership styles. The LIC in public sector and the Reliance Insurance in private sector are purposively selected for the study due to familiarity of the researcher.
