Abstract/Excerpt

This paper focuses on small and medium enterprises in terms of transformational leadership and organization performance. The research population consisted of managers and owners of enterprises in Trinidad, a developing country in the Caribbean. The MLQ (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire) Form 5X was used to assess the research population. An organization performance instrument was also employed. Correlational data were used to determine relationships between performance and leadership style. No significant relationship between each of the MLQ subscales and organization performance was found. Implications of the study and recommendations for future research are presented.
