Abstract: Results-based planning (RBP) is increasingly used in national development planning to improve many social and economic outcomes. This article highlights the role of middle manager leadership in such processes. Based on empirical data from Vietnamese public organisations, this study finds that: 1) 'combined' (full-range) leadership by mid-level public managers is key to RBP use and results; 2) resourcing, employee commitment and training, as well as top leader support further increase RBP use and results; 3) donor and top leaders' support are only indirectly associated with RBP use and result, and we provide evidence on the perceived benefits of RBP-based national planning processes. This study identifies specific middle manager's transformational, transactional and autocratic leadership practices in this development planning.
