    This is a report of a study which establishes the effect of good leadership on staff turn over. It is a case study of VAD operating in Wakiso and Mpigi Districts of Uganda. The main research problem was that mangers lack knowledge about or there is little documentation of the relationship between leadership and staff turn over. At VAD, there was certainly no such data. The purpose of this study was therefore to provide documented evidence that good leadership is associated with low turn over. The field data was collected during August and September 2009. The methodology used in data collection was both quantitative and qualitative. A sample of 92 respondents was selected out of 191 and a questionnaire was self administered. The data was then treated statistically using SPSS and Excel software programmes. Essentially, the SPSS programme was used in creating frequency tables. This ea sed narrative interpretation. The main findings are VAD has good leadership. This is seen in regular communication, good relations with staff, availing training opportunities, a concern for performance and availing a good working environment. The staff turn over is also low with only 3 people having left in 10 years. The conclusion is that good leadership leads to low staff turn over. It is recommended that such good practices be maintained at VAD.
