This study adopted descriptive and quantitative data design. The main instruments in data collection used were semi-structured questionnaires targeting senior level management, senior business development officers, business development officers, and office assistants. The data was finally coded, analyzed, and presented by means of tables, means, frequencies and standard deviations with assistance of statistical packages for social science (SPSS).The study concluded that excellent performance level is not being realized by the organization, organization focuses on current and future customer need, Leadership though considered to have influence in business performance of the organization has not been given the required level of attention.
