The Leadership Competencies of Prof. Yılmaz Büyükerşen as the Chancellor of Anadolu University

Öz

Transformational, charismatic, visionary! These are some of terms that have been popularized as the prescription for successful leadership. A leader does not have to check all the boxes to be considered successful, Prof. Yılmaz did, however. The study interviewed four participants who worked under Prof. Yılmaz as the chancellor as Anadolu university to examine their perception of Prof. Yılmaz’s leadership competencies according to Dulewicz and Higgs (2006) framework. The results indicate that Prof. Yılmaz performed highly on all competencies considered and inspired a lasting mark of loyalty and commitment and admiration among his followers and peers. His ability to comprehend the emotions of his followers and his will to communicate to their feelings helped endear him to his staff. Creating a vision and formulating a strategy to reach it, then (backed with the requisite resources) being capable of communicating this vision to an empowered workforce is the total summary of Prof. Yılmaz’s (and indeed any other leader’s) path to leadership success.
