Abstract:
This paper is based on the critical analysis of leadership in governance.
Paper also deals with the leadership selection process in India. It argues that
Indias failure in some extent is related to lack of effective and efficient
leadership. Hence the decline in moral and discipline caused by weak rules,
eroded professional standards and ethics and weakened the system of
governance. This paper observes that for India to overcome the lack of
effective leadership, need to do something on its strict policies and
leadership building approach among its emerging leaders. This paper
conclude that leadership that focus maximum on empathy for the people can
be relevant for achieving success at all level in this world. The success of
government in any political system is determined by the level of quality of
leader and their leadership effectiveness. The data for analysis is sourced
from the secondary method of data collection and it is in some cases used
the survey report and research survey of other agency.

and injustice nad political instability. This research study has examined and

leadership in governance is critical to subpolitical and economic growth of

leadership related to the public sector governance.this problem has created
a huge devastating effects on social and human development ,social
infrastructure and perception about Nigeria in international arena.
Reform in Nigeria : Nigeria is capable enough with the natural and viable
resources of improving socio-economic and living standard of the citizen by maintaining
believe among the people.various public sector reform which is a complex process that
result in sudden and
governance which make them more responsible in context of public expectations and
demands was proposed and implemented .it is observed that without radical change like
other African countries it is too early to expect fruitful result in context of welfare and
growth. The government needed to respond to the poverty and income inequalities by
improving services delivery to the citizens to promote the system of transparency and
credibility. These reform was failed to attend their goals and objectives. this study
proposed that role of leadership either it is civilian or burocratics or milllitary is very
important for performance eof governce.
Assumptions:
It is assumed in this research paper that secondary data taken for analysis provides

sector and role of leadership between year of 1960 to 2007.
Corruption challenge :Nigeria at all level of its governance suffer from corruption.It
was common believe that corruption is in Nigerias culture. The number of reforms and
lack of truthiness and integrity of their leader Nigeria remain corrupt forever.politicians
are expelled and later-readmitted in to their role ,then ,what hope for the good
governance?
performing well despite of inefficient policies and lack of Good approach of government.
According the current scenario our claim of India as raising power is proving incorrect
as we are suffering from a serious crisis. The government at New Delhi always failed
to clear credibility test as the nation is suffering from corruption and scandals at every
level .From Commonwealth game to telecommunications every level our government
even Failed to bring honest agency to inspect the corruption to punish those who is
responsible. Indian government is failed to show will to take tough decision. On
economic Level question is always raising on government ability to bring second
generation economic reforms. The strategic failure of Indian foreign policies is India
major setback in this 21 st century. India is lacking behind Indian foreign and security
policy decision making. India failed to highlight its growing military and economic
capability on global level for its influence. India is still suffering from weak administrative
capability in area of policy making. There is leadership deficit in India at political level.
None of the parties present Leader who can face and solve national challenges smartly
and brilliantly. No parties has vision as where should the India be heading in these 21 st
century. At this stage, India need leadership that can take some tough decision against
Corruption, bring economic reform and inspire people and bring back confidence in
them for Indian democracy. How long we will look to bollywood and cricket pitches in
search of leader and heroes?
only the candidates that possess leadership Skills. if people votes is respected to
choose candidates then only leader at all Level will face pressure to work through
examplanary leadership to retain in power. Without effective electoral system
Conclusions:
It is observed from the research analysis that leadership is very important for
governance. Without leadership the role of government agency is nullified. because the
government is for the welfare and for fulfilling the basic need of the people. if leadership
is not effective in any government it will lead to illegal practices like bribery, corruption
and illegal and unethical uses of resources. Failure of leadership is threat to nation and
organization too. Practical case analysis of Nigeria since its independence in context of
leadership is suffieicient to prove the importance of leadership in governance. A series
of problem started if there is inefficient leadership exist. and the solution for the failed
leadership is successful and efficient leadership. There is always need to check the type
of leadership needed for particular country and its style matters a lot for the success.
Nigerias failure and controlling the corruption was due to complete and deep rooted
effected of inefficient leadership. even after fifty to sixty years after independence it is
observed that reforms and proposals to check the corrupt practices has no meaning
until and unless the desire and dedication of leadership is not gained. Process of
selection of leaders also play a vital role in the success of governance in implementing
rule, regulations, laws and ethics in the country. if selection of leader is based on
publication acceptance than the background, ability and ideology of his/her party must
be clearly presented to the each and every citizen of country. If it is some position at
strategy and important decision making is there then it must be merit based. Regular
training for the leader must be the target of the government. Strict policy and laws to
punish the violator of rules and for those who are involved in illegal practices also useful
tool to discourage the illegal activities in the country. Leader are role model to their
followers and responsible for people welfare. So it is responsibility of leader to work for
them and keep always away from illegal practices.
