Workplaces evolved to include both virtual online and physical interactive spaces, for example, many enterprises have moved into the realms of online and remote workspaces where the impact of the type of leadership styles on employee performances needs greater study. This has impacted workplace performances and productivity where in some cases, leaders are required to re-think required skills set and the need to acquire new skills. The main characteristic of e-leadership is the way interaction takes place between leaders and the organization. This paper investigates the effectiveness of e-leadership styles and skills in e-businesses and their impacts on employee performance. This study adopts a qualitative approach supported with secondary research based on reviewed documents. The data were collected through open-ended questions created through google form and links were sent to respondents where people can participate in these questions. The analysis indicates that coaching in e-leadership is the most effective style to improve employee performance. The emphasis is placed on a better understanding of leadership style for modern workplace where a proper understanding of leadership approaches impacts work performances.
