The recruitment and selection of staff of the Ministry of Youths Sports and Culture, Kaduna State is not always based on merit but has been partly affected by corruption and nepotism/godfatherism. The paper therefore recommends that the leadership in the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, Kaduna State should ensure that those behaviour and attitude to non-provision of conducive environment for workers to perform should be seriously addressed, proper training and promotion also is to be given to the staff of this institution in order to give them job satisfaction, directors should also have their own visions and development plans for staff, working in groups and champion team work spirit.
This research was conducted to determine the leadership qualities of the president and administrators of Turkish Football Coaches Association (TUFAD) and examine the leadership behaviours in terms of some variables. For this reason, Leadership for Spot Scale (LSS) was applied to 55 administrators who voluntarily participated in this research as presidents, vice presidents and board members in Turkish football coaches associations [1]. A scale with 5 subscales and 40 items was applied to the administrators and they were asked to rate the most suitable type of behaviour described in the items of the scale. SPSS 19 statistical pack was used for the data analysis. Independent groups t test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for parametric data, and for non-parametric data the research used Kruskal Wallis H test. The differences between the groups were identified by Scheffe, LSD and Mann Whitney U test. Data from research group indicated that the leadership styles didn't change based on age, yet there was a statistically significant difference between the types of leadership regarding the variable of educational background p<0.05. For marital status, democratic leadership behaviours were higher among the married group whilst the autocratic leadership behaviour was greater in single group. It was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the groups according to the variable of self-description in social life p<0.05. Accordingly, it was explored that participants of the group who described themselves social and extrovert had a tendency to exhibit less autocratic behaviours. Therefore, there are important missions and responsibilities taken on by TUFAD administrators, who are influential in Turkish football. Success mostly results from qualities and behaviours of the administrators when fulfilling these important tasks and responsibilities. Appropriateness of leadership behaviours will be determinant in the success of sports institutions and organizations.

Strategic Leadership and Strategy Implementation -A Case Study of Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA2019 •
The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between strategic leadership and strategy implementation at FUFA. The study was premised on strategic leadership theory. The objectives of the study were to examine relationship between: leadership competence and strategy implementation, investigate relationship between leadership communication and strategy implementation, to establish relationship between staff involvement and strategy implementation and to assess the relationship between monitoring and evaluation and strategy implementation. The population of the study were 45 staff at FUFA. Sampling was considered inappropriate due to smallness of the population and approach adopted was a census that covered all the staff in the population. The study used descriptive research design because it aimed at understanding how one variable produced changes in another and explain relationship among variables. The study used a self-administered questionnaire. Findings indicate that leadership competence and leadership communication have positive and significant relationship with strategy implementation. Findings also indicate that employee involvement and monitoring and evaluation have an insignificant positive relationship with strategy implementation. It is recommended that leaders at FUFA should prioritise on leadership competence as it enhances opportunities to realise its strategic goal while paying attention to employee involvement, monitoring and evaluation as part of less important aspects of their activities. Leadership communication is not a useful predictor of changes in strategy implementation at FUFA.
