This study examines the interconnection between organizational culture, leadership behaviour and organizational success and create an empirical link based on data drawn from one of Nigeria’s Cement Manufacturing Companies. This research was conducted using the quantitative method across the staff in the selected company. Semi-structured questionnaires were distributed to a population sample of 63 participants. From the results, there exists a significant relationship between these three elements while the organizational cultural type and style of leadership enforces the existing relationship. It was discovered that organizational culture which refers to the beliefs and values that have existed in an organization for a long time, and to the beliefs of the staff and the foreseen value of their work that will influence their attitudes and behaviour. We established that administrators or top management officers tend to modify their leadership behaviour to achieve the organization’s goals which in turn often influence job satisfaction on the part of the employee. It was also ascertained that there was a positive link between organization culture, leadership behaviour and organizational success. Findings also revealed that the culture of the organization has a two-way effect on the success of the organization, likewise the leadership traits and behaviour.
