The main objective of the study was to examine the influence of leadership performance in facilitating organizational development of public entities in Tanzania with the focus on the influence of leadership performance in facilitating organizational development in public sectors with a focus on the Tanzania Ports Authority. The study involved examination of leadership practices being implemented for organizational development, its impact on the organizational performance, the perception of employees on leadership performance and the issues affecting the implementation of leadership performance in relation to the performance of the Tanzania Ports Authority. The study employed a qualitative approach in the collection of data and a case study research design was used in the conduct of the study. Qualitative data was collected from the primary and secondary sources through the use of interviews, questionnaires and documentary review and a total of 75 respondents were involved in the study. The respondents were selected through the accidental and judgmental sampling and data was analyzed qualitatively through making connections and drawing conclusions from the generated data and the presentation of tables and figures with the usage of the SPSS version 20. The study has revealed that there is a relationship between leadership performance and the organizational development. The study has further revealed that, performance leadership is perceived as a performance oriented approach, as a link to performance structures and processes with organizational development and viewed as a platform for engagement of stakeholders. The study has also revealed that, among the challenges being faced include, inadequate budgets (16%), politicization of leadership (21.3%), and inadequate skills on leadership performance (13. 3%).Therefore, the study has established that leadership performance can influence organizational development and in order that it is sustained, the Tanzania Ports Authority has to invest in training, strategic planning, effective budgeting and engagement of stakeholders.
