The article aims to isolate development-focused public leadership on one hand, and shared national values and principles of good governance, as enshrined in the Constitution of 2010, on the other. The purpose of the article is to examine whether development-focused public leadership promotes national values and principles of good governance, as envisaged in the Constitution of Kenya of2010. The study empirically examines the interplay between these leader-ship foci, the eight factors advancing national values and the principles of good governance, as enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya of 2010.The article presents an overview of public leadership for development in Kenya, along with the research question and hypothesis. Hereafter, research method and data collection methods are presented. Both qualitative and quantitative data sources were deployed for the study. This is followed by the findings and discussion of the empirical studies. In conclusion, the implications of the studies on public leadership for development in Kenya are explored.
