Abstract
The overall aim of the study was to elucidate on how strategic leadership
influences strategy implementation in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions
(ODPP) in Nakuru County, Kenya. The key research question of this paper is if
strategic leadership is a driver of successful strategy implementation in the Office of
the Director of Public Prosecutions selected. Theoretical underpinning for the study
was based on three theories namely Resource Based View, Open Systems Theory, as
well as Institutional Theory. Data was collected using self-administered semistructured questionnaires. Reliability of the research instruments was 0.610, established
using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient indicating that the conditions of reliability were
met. Construct validity of the instruments was established by sharing the information
of the instruments with experts in the area of strategic planning and implementation.
Data analysis was conducted using inferential analysis with the aid of SPSS version 20.
The computed value of the Spearman correlation coefficient was r = 0.560, which was
significant at P<0.05. The study findings are therefore critical to various stakeholders
in the Criminal Justice System, especially the Office of Director Public Prosecutions.
These study findings strengthen the Government’s understanding of the strengths and
weaknesses of strategy implementation and make this a basis for strategy
implementation process in the office of the DPP and other Government offices.
