Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the problematic issue of management without leadership in the Nigeria's corporate organizations. Management has
been conceptualized in this paper us a process of planning, organizing, leading and controlling the effort.;, of organization members and using other resources to
achieve corporate goals and objectives, working through people to mobilize other organizational resources (finance. equipment, facilities, information and time) to
achieve corporate goals and objectives. Since people are the most organic and dynamic resource of any organization, it behoves all managers to unleash their
leadership influence to direct people towards optimum performance. Of all the resources of an organization, human resource represents a unique resource in that no organization can own it but with proper leadership. An organization can nurture and retain its human resources. Through proper leadership, the members of the organization can be stimulated to contribute towards value creation within the organization. it is unfortunate however, that Nigerian corporate organizations
have not generally performed optimally within the last two decades, due to the passive practice of mamaging organisation without applying effective leadership.
This paper critically examines rhe issues at stake and the challenges posed by managing organization without employing e,lfl!ctive leadership styles. It also
proffers strategies towards the improvement of corporate management through proper leadership,
