Exploring Leadership and NGO Effectiveness in BRAC, Bangladesh

Research on leadership has been a fascinating area among Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource Management researchers for the impact leaders make. Be it expanding the empire, good governance, success of organisation, or effective management of resources leaders make a difference in the outcome. Large volumes of researches over the years have confirmed that leaders display several traits and behaviours and the styles also differ to suit the situation. The definition of situation ranges from subordinate characteristics, task difficulty, and nature of business to culture of the organisation. Since NGOs substantially differ from for-prof it organizations in their nature, culture and the environmental context in which they operate, leadership in NGOs have been viewed differently by researchers and the research in this area has commanded distinct attention of researchers.
