The study was conducted between July and October 2010 with a total of 188 respondents randomly selected from four State Owned Enterprises. The data was gathered through an interview and a self-administered open ended questionnaire. The study revealed a relatively low leadership involvement in strategy implementation leading to partial strategy success. Leadership has been failing to role model the ideal behaviour necessary for successful strategy implementation. The absence of a well crafted strategic vision and the lack of communication were also identified. The study concluded that leadership should be able to craft a vision for any strategic programme, design effective communication strategies as well as to role model behaviour changes that are consistent with new strategies.
