This paper explores the critical influence of school leadership on teacher retention, a pressing issue that affects educational quality and student outcomes. As schools face challenges such as high turnover rates and teacher shortages, effective leadership emerges as a vital factor in fostering a supportive environment that encourages educators to remain in their positions. The study examines various leadership styles, including transformational, participative, and distributed leadership, highlighting their roles in creating positive school cultures and climates. Transformational leaders, who inspire and empower teachers, have been shown to significantly enhance job satisfaction and commitment, while participative leadership promotes collaboration and shared decision-making, fostering a sense of belonging among staff. Additionally, the paper discusses the importance of administrative support, effective communication, and professional development in teacher retention. School leaders who prioritize these elements contribute to reducing teacher burnout and enhancing overall well-being. By investing in professional growth opportunities and recognizing teachers’ contributions, leaders create a motivating atmosphere that encourages educators to stay in their roles.
