Abstract: This research paper examines the interplay between leadership styles and organizational culture in Indian family-owned businesses, exploring how traditional and modern management approaches influence business outcomes. Indian family-owned businesses often feature a mix of autocratic, transformational, and participative leadership styles, each impacting organizational culture and performance differently. Through a review of existing literature and case studies, the paper highlights that while autocratic leadership ensures stability and control, transformational and participative approaches foster innovation and employee engagement. Quantitative analysis reveals that businesses with adaptive leadership styles tend to achieve higher employee satisfaction and financial performance. The paper also addresses the challenges faced during leadership transitions and the integration of professional management practices. Case studies of prominent Indian family businesses, including the Tata Group and Godrej Group, illustrate successful strategies for balancing family values with modern business demands. Ultimately, the study underscores the importance of aligning leadership styles with organizational culture to drive long-term success and sustainability in family-owned enterprises.
