A Conceptual Study on Quantum Leadership: A New Intrapersonal Powers -Environmental Forces Balance Model

Öz

Today, societies and organizations live in an atmosphere rapidly changing new dynamics. In-depth questioning of new facts requires an urgent responsibility. There is a need for leaders can wisely evaluate leadership opportunities with the quantum approach and master innovative and creative thinking and decision-making processes. The existence of leaders who can understand the contexts and move forward with the right vision, right goals, and strategies has become extremely essential to sustainability. Could it be that it is time to confront the new phenomena emerging from completely different anomalous dynamics, and to discover the new paradigm? For this, the leader's thinking, decision-making, and creative processes must be understood very well. How should the leader's thinking and decision-making processes work in order to be innovative by breaking old paradigms? How should the leader fundamentally balance his/her internal powers with environmental factors? This study contributes to the literature by seeking answers to these questions and developing a new conceptual model in this direction. In this conceptual review article, an original model is explainedbased on quantum leadership. It includes eight dynamics of the leader, namely introversion power, the power of creating a vision, the power of inclusiveness, the power of adaptation, the power of understanding, the power of decision-making, the power of face-off, and the power of solidarity. It also explains what kind of relationship network exists among the dynamics and what the underlying values of each dynamic are.

Kuantum Liderlik Üzerine Kavramsal Bir Çalışma: Yeni Bir İçsel-Çevresel Güçler Denge Modeli

Öz

Günümüzde toplumlar ve kuruluşlar hızla değişen yeni dinamiklerin olduğu bir atmosferde yaşamaktadır. Yeni olguların derinlemesine sorgulanması acil bir sorumluluk gerektirmektedir. Liderlerin kuantum yaklaşımı ile liderlik açılımlarını akıllıca değerlendirebilen, yenilikçi ve yaratıcı düşünme ve karar alma süreçlerine hakim olabilmelerine ihtiyaç vardır. Bağlamları anlayarak doğru vizyon, doğru hedefler ve stratejilerle ilerleyebilen liderlerin varlığı sürdürülebilirlik açısından son derece önemli hâle gelmiştir. Artık bambaşka anomalik dinamiklerden ortaya çıkan yeni olgularla yüzleşmenin, yeni paradigmayı keşfetmenin zamanı gelmiş olabilir mi? Bunun için liderin düşünme, karar verme ve yaratıcı süreçlerinin çok iyi idrak edilmesi gerekir. Eski paradigmaları yıkarak yenilikçi olabilmek için liderin düşünme ve karar verme süreçleri nasıl işlemelidir? Lider, içsel güçlerini çevresel faktörlerle temel olarak nasıl dengelemelidir? Bu çalışma, bu sorulara yanıt arayarak ve bu doğrultuda yeni bir kavramsal model geliştirerek yazına katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu kavramsal derleme makalesinde ilk kez açıklanan model, kuantum liderliğini temel almakta ve liderin içe dönme gücü, vizyon oluşturma gücü, kapsayıcılık gücü, uyum sağlama gücü, anlama gücü, karar verme gücü, yüzleşme gücü ve dayanışma gücü olmak üzere sekiz dinamiği içermektedir. Ayrıca dinamikler arasında nasıl bir ilişki ağının olduğu ve her bir dinamiğin temelinde yatan değerlerin neler olduğu tartışılmaktadır.
