Horizontal leadership: Strengthening leadership through collaboration and flexibility

Abstract

The issue of empowerment of workers has gained importance in today's business environment. The leader should take on the responsibility of both making decisions and guiding the team in making decisions. Horizontal leadership encourages cooperation, flexibility, and shared decision-making, in contrast to traditional leadership management. Horizontal leadership is the process of delegating authority to employees so that they can take on leadership roles by including them in decision-making processes. Horizontal leadership distributes power and authority throughout the organization, allowing employees to present their ideas and take initiative at every level. Therefore, horizontal leadership is an effective and new approach for achieving organizational success. A comprehensive literature review, a comprehensive literature review was conducted on the subject of horizontal leadership. First, an overall summary of horizontal leadership was given, along with a detailed discussion about the way it differs from other forms of leadership. Next, in addition to the sub-dimensions of horizontal leadership, the fundamental characteristics that horizontal leaders need to possess were examined. In addition, research results examining the individual and organizational effects of horizontal leadership are included. In the conclusion section, information on horizontal leadership is gathered and offering recommendations for managers and senior management on how to successfully apply it in businesses. The study addresses an absence in the literature as there hasn't been any research on horizontal leadership to date.

Yatay liderlik: Liderliği iş birliği ve esneklikle güçlendirmek

Abstract

Günümüz iş ortamında çalışanların yetkilendirilmesi ve güçlendirilmesi konuları önemli hale gelmiştir. Lider, yalnızca karar alıcı rolünü değil, aynı zamanda karar almayı ekip üyeleriyle birlikte yönlendirme rolünü de üstlenmelidir. Geleneksel liderlik yönetiminden farklı olarak yatay liderlik, iş birliğini, esnekliği ve paylaşımcı karar almayı teşvik etmektedir. Yatay liderlik, çalışanları karar alma süreçlerine dahil ederek liderlik rolleri üstlenmeleri için onları yetki devretme sürecidir. Yatay liderlik, gücü ve yetkiyi organizasyon geneline dağıtarak çalışanların her seviyede fikirlerini sunmalarını ve inisiyatif almalarını sağlamaktadır. Bu yüzden yatay liderlik, örgütlerde başarıya ulaşmak için etkili ve yeni bir yaklaşımdır. Günümüz iş ortamında çalışanların yetkilendirilmesi ve güçlendirilmesi konuları önemli hale gelmiştir.

Bu yüzden yatay liderlik, örgütlerde başarıya ulaşmak için etkili ve yeni bir yaklaşımdır. Çalışma kapsamında, yatay liderlik kavramı üzerine kapsamlı bir literatür taraması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Öncelikle, yatay liderliğe dair temel bilgiler sunulmuş ve diğer liderlik türleriyle olan farkları ayrıntılı bir şekilde ele alınmıştır. Daha sonra, yatay liderlerin sahip olması gereken temel nitelikler ve yatay liderliğin alt boyutları da incelenmiştir. Ayrıca yatay liderliğin, bireysel ve örgütsel etkilerini inceleyen araştırma sonuçlarına yer verilmiştir. Sonuç bölümünde, yatay liderlik ile ilgili bilgiler derlenerek örgütlerde başarılı bir şekilde uygulanabilmesi için yöneticilere ve üst yönetime öneriler sunulmuştur. Yatay liderlik ile ilgili şu ana kadar yapılmış herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamış olup çalışma alandaki bir boşluğu doldurmaktadır.
