Abstract
This study examined the impact of leadership style on organisational performance of State-Owned Enterprises in Zimbabwe. The Descriptive and Explanatory research method was adopted. The findings of this study pointed out that a close relationship exists between leadership style and performance of the organisation. The study established that transactional and transformational democratic leadership styles, in which employees are allowed to have sense of belonging, tend to carry out higher responsibility with little supervision, and followers are helped to achieve their visions to enhance organizational efficiency. The study concluded that leadership style has both positive and negative effect on organizational performance. It is recommended that, State-Owned Enterprises operating within the scope of the study should adopt appropriate leadership styles based on the demands of the situation in order to achieve the desired organisational performance.
