Leaders are required to develop the future vision and to motivate the organizational members to achieve their vision and enhance their competence. Thus an study has been conducted to investigate the various leadership styles that are practiced in an organization and to understand what impact they have on Employee Competence Development. For the purpose of the study a sample size of 130 employees from IT Sector was chosen using simple random sampling technique and the data was analysed using correlation and regression analysis via SPSS. Also secondary research findings were integrated. The reason behind secondary research findings being integrated is to help the readers to understand how employee competence can be effected by the leadership styles followed by the managers in the team or in organization. The findings from both primary and secondary research proves that indeed Leadership styles has an impact over employee’s competence development and Transactional style of leadership is more effective and majorly followed by the managers in IT Sector. Since the study was conducted only taking employees of few companies from the IT sector, in future it could be conducted for larger set of IT organization and a comparative study can also be undertaken across various sectors to determine the difference in the predominant style of leadership across various sector and determine the efficiency of transactional style of leadership across sector.
