Strategic planning will reach its full potential once leadership operates effectively within the South African organisation. In this research, theoretical views of strategic planning and the role leadership should perform within South African organisations in the year 2000 are investigated. Firstly, the author conducted a theoretical study into the strategic management model, and the most important factors influencing it. Secondly, the author investigated the leadership theories in relation to strategic planning. Thirdly, an empirical study was conducted to determine to which extent South African managers are successful leaders, and the resulted impact on strategic planning. Lastly, the author evaluated the empirical study, and made recommendations based on the literature and empirical study conducted.
