Searching For the Suitable Leadership Style For Turkish Administrators to Cope with the Ever Increasing Sever Competition

Today, newly emerged problems in such a competitive business environment require novel solutions and new types of managers and leaders. The purpose of this paper is to search what type of leadership is the better choice and evaluate which leadership style fits in a specific situation the best. Within this context, types and styles of leadership will be evaluated with application in practice, to explore the most suitable “leadership wisdom” appropriate to the position. As an instrument of the research methodology, a questionnaire has been developed based on previous empirical studies conducted in the field of leadership. The leadership philosophies of some of the major Turkish companies have also been tested from the view of nepotism and unethical conduct through this study. Moreover, the effects of their organizational cultures and social values that influence organizational functioning and the leadership styles have been explored. As perceived, the next society will be a knowledge society; where, not only businesses but also schools, universities, hospitals, and government agencies have to be globally competitive.
