%X Public sector reforms have been on the agenda of a number of governments, including Ghana and development agencies such as the World Bank. From the review of existing literature, it is notable that the impact of leadership and organisational culture on the performance of organisations is significant either positively or negatively and therefore essential factors in ensuring a reformed and more efficient public sector, especially in developing countries. This paper looks at the general discussions on leadership and organisational culture narrowed down to the Ghanaian context. Furthermore, the relationship between transformational leadership and organisational culture and their relevance in public sector organisations in Ghana are touched on. This conceptual paper identifies that leadership and organisational culture play a very important role in the performance of public sector organisations and in particularly the transformational style of leadership seems to result in more innovative and dynamic practices in public sector organisations.
