Abstract

This paper reviews literature as well as explores analytical findings on leadership styles from the practical perspective. For this purpose, the banking industry of Bangladesh is taken as a sample industry. The sample units are taken from ten private and public commercial banks and non-bank financial institutions. The objective of this study is to explore the leadership practices in the banking industry of Bangladesh. Primary data has been collected from the top, mid and operational level officials of different banking institutions through face-to-face individual interviews using questionnaire. Analysis has been done from both leaders’ and subordinates’ perspectives. Major finding is that the most practiced leadership style according to both leaders and subordinates is bureaucratic style and the least used leadership style is laissez-faire style.
