Abstract: This paper seeks to find the relationship between military leadership style and performance of soldiers in post war Sri Lanka. Having available different styles and definitions of leadership researcher selected Blake and Mouton's leadership grid, to proceed with the research (Bennis & Nanus, 2003). It discusses five leadership styles and they were analyzed through a questionnaire with the sample consisted of 50 officers and 120 soldiers from different Security Forces HQs engaged in nation building projects. It has found that in achieving results, leaders have to depend less on formal authority but more on influencing others (Hersey & Blanchard, 1996). This study will helpful for military in order to generate an interest among officers and soldiers in the Army to rethink about their leadership styles that are practicing during post war activities. This also shed light in to the existing leadership model and finding the most desirable place for a leader to be, considered as the prime importance of human resource managing aspects of the future military.
