Book excerpt: Employee turnover is one of the most challenging dilemmas in organizations. A considerable amount of research indicates that turnover is mainly a result of negative relationships between supervisors and managers, and their employees. Still, that is not to stay that employees that are considered to have good bosses never leave. If the relationship between the leader and the follower is not the sole reason for leaving an organization, then what other reasons are there for employee turnover? The purpose of this paper is to investigate why there are voluntary turnovers in government departments and the correlation it has to the supervisor’s leadership. The paper will also examine what leadership means and which leadership models in government organizations are best with high turnover and possibilities of retaining great employees. It aims to investigate the cause of voluntary turnovers and the significance of a supervisor’s style of leadership that contribute to overcoming these factors. The answer to these questions can help organizations greatly, due to the fact that it can be costly to replace employees on a regular basis. The findings reveal that employee retention and leadership style have an impact on each other. This is because the leader or supervisor has the power to change what needs to be changed and the followers are limited. If followers want change, they need to leave the organization. Specifically, a difference exists in organizations that are more focused on the employee’s overall well-being and making the employees succeed and grow in the organization. Organizations that seem to favor quality of work life for the employee tend to have higher retention rates. Furthermore, leaders should view their roles as duties rather than privileges. Leaders should be inclusive and understanding of all their employees. They need to know how to respect and appreciate all as well as how to motivate those that need the encouragement. Each employee is different, and they cannot all be dealt with the same. Leadership needs to be valued just as much as followership. There is a lot of responsibility that leaders have towards reducing employee turnover. The effect of employee turnover is not solely due to bad leadership, it includes good leadership that may need minor adjustments.
