Good governance, characterized by principles such as accountability, transparency, responsiveness, and inclusiveness, is critical for effective leadership and administration in public institutions. The study aims to determine the influence of transformational, transactional, and autocratic leadership styles on good governance outcomes in the local government context. Employing a cross-sectional research design, data is collected using closed-ended questionnaires from a sample of 178 respondents, allowing for quantitative analysis of the relationship between leadership styles and governance. The findings reveal that transformational leadership significantly enhances good governance, demonstrating a path coefficient of 0.782 and a p-value of 0.000, indicating a strong positive correlation. Leaders who inspire and motivate their teams play a crucial role in fostering a supportive environment that drives organizational success. Transactional leadership also contributes positively, with a path coefficient of 0.716 and a p-value of 0.000, emphasizing the importance of rewarding accomplishments and creating clear expectations to enhance accountability within the council. While transactional leadership may not inspire the same level of engagement as transformational leadership, it remains essential for achieving specific organizational objectives and maintaining structured processes. Additionally, the study acknowledges a positive relationship between autocratic leadership and good governance, evidenced by a path coefficient of 0.747 and a p value of 0.001. Despite its less collaborative nature, autocratic leadership can facilitate swift decision-making and goal achievement, although its long-term effects on employee morale and innovation warrant caution. This research contributes significantly to the existing body of knowledge on leadership and governance, particularly in the context of local government in Mwanza City. By highlighting the importance of effective leadership in enhancing governance outcomes, the study provides empirical evidence that supports the need for leadership development programs tailored to the unique challenges of public Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT http://dspace.iaa.ac.tz:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/2779 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
