LEADERSHIP PROBLEMS AND VIABILITY OF TRANSPORT FIRMS IN SOUTH-EAST NIGERIA

Abstract

The transportation business is an important part of the economy since it creates jobs and allows commodities and people to move around. However, the business faces several hurdles, including leadership issues, which might jeopardize the survival of transportation companies. This study investigates the leadership problems and viability of transportation companies in the southern part of Nigeria. The study employed a survey design and gathered data from ten transportation companies in the region. The findings indicate that leadership problems such as poor communication, a lack of transparency, and inadequate training, are common in the sector. The study also discovered that these leadership problems might have an impact on the financial viability of transportation companies, resulting in decreasing productivity, higher costs, and lower competitiveness. The report suggests that transportation companies in the region prioritize leadership development, improve communication, and give proper training to increase their viability
