One way to improve HR management is leadership support for outstanding employees. According to Russell in Sutrisno (2016), achievement is a record of the results obtained from certain job functions or certain activities during a certain period of time.
According to Maier in Sutrisno (2016) In general, work performance is defined as a person's success in carrying out a job. Information about the high and low work performance of an employee is obtained through a long process, namely the process of evaluating employee performance which is called performance appraisal.
Based on previous research Farida (2016), at RSU Aisyiyah Ponorogo, the manager considers that the employee's work performance is still not optimal, so it is necessary to evaluate the employee's work performance that can be satisfactory. According to the HR section of RSU 'Asyiyah Ponorogo, in the last 3 years there have been 6 permanent employees whose promotions have been delayed from a total of 311 employees due to poor work performance. The reason for the delay in his rank and not having his contract extended was due to poor work performance, this indicates one indicator of the employee's performance appraisal that is not good, due to lack of leadership and lack of communication.
Research result (Sustainable, 2015) it can be seen that the magnitude of the coefficient for task orientation leadership is 24.8% and this influence is positive. This means that if the leader improves the task-oriented leadership style, the employee's work performance will increase by 24.8%. While the magnitude of the coefficient for the relationship-oriented leadership style is 32.9% and this influence is positive. This means that if the leader improves the relationship-oriented leadership style, the work performance of the Civil Servant Cooperative (KPN) employees increases by 32.9%.

The Relationship between Leadership Support and Employee Performance
After being tested with the chi square test, it can be seen that the value of p = 0.003 (P <0.005) This means that the relationship between leadership support and employee performance is significant.
These results are in accordance with previous studies with the Spearmen test results p value = 0.034 (<0.05), which means that there is a relationship between leadership support and nurse work performance. Kusumastuti (2018). Leadership support is a reflection of the leadership's positive attitude in responding to an object at hand. If the leadership support is good, then the employee's work performance is good and vice versa if the leadership support is not good then the employee's work performance is not good.
Research conducted by Astuti and Prayogi (2018). also stated that there is a partial influence of leadership on employee performance, as well as work performance has a partial effect on employee performance, and simultaneously leadership and work performance have a significant effect on employee performance. This is in accordance with the theory of leadership according to Abdillah et al. (2013). namely leadership is one of the dimensions of competence that will determine the performance of employees or the success of goals for the organization.
according to (Kartono et al., 2015) The interpersonal role possessed by a leader is that apart from being a symbol of the existence of the organization, he is also responsible for motivating and providing direction to subordinates, so that by giving special attention and support to members, they are expected to be able to do something for the organization and also various parties who have relations with the organization.
according to Farida (2016 Leadership is the core of management because leadership is the driving force for human resources and natural resources in order to achieve the goals of the organization as expected. Meanwhile, the factors that affect work performance from the employee's point of view are Wijono (2018). is apart from the factors of expertise, interests, work situation, motivational factors play an important role in spurring human resources theoretically to boost the skills provided so that personal employees are more enthusiastic in improving work performance. This is also in line with the research conducted Astuti and Prayogi (2018). with leadership results significant effect 0.0000. This means that leadership has a significant effect on employee performance.
The results of the observations that the researchers found when conducting research at the Sei Suka Health Center, Sei Suka District, Batu Bara Regency, researchers could see that there was a gap between leadership support and employee performance. For example, it can be seen when the leader gives a direction in achieving work targets, where the head of the puskesmas as a leader only gives instructions during meetings, but persuasively in achieving the target, the leadership is rarely seen joining a work team, or doing evaluations in daily life together. -same with employees. In simple terms, researchers rarely see the head of the puskesmas sitting together or communicating intensely with the employees, or just laughing and joking is also rare.
It is not uncommon for puskesmas employees to be seen late in absenteeism, even puskesmas employees sometimes come just to take attendance and then go to take care of other jobs outside of their main responsibilities as puskesmas employees. In service achievement targets, it is also often found that data does not match expectations, such as the schedule of visits to carry out health promotions to schools that do not achieve operational targets.
The success of the Puskesmas program is highly dependent on the ability of its leaders. With the abilities possessed by a leader, it can affect the performance of subordinates to do work in accordance with the vision and mission that has been set by the Puskesmas. Today's demands require organizations and the people involved to work with high integrity. So that what is the target for the success of the planned program can be measured, evaluated and achieved to the maximum.
