Özet

Agile leadership is a contemporary leadership approach that stands out in today's business world of uncertainty, rapid change, and complexity. Developed as an alternative to traditional hierarchical and rigid management models, this approach focuses on flexibility, adaptability, participatory decision-making, and innovation. Instead of focusing only on task and process management, agile leaders tend to unlock the potential of team members, strengthen the culture of collaboration, and support the learning organization approach. In this context, empathy, open communication, creating an environment of trust, and developing employees' competencies are among the basic principles of the agile leadership approach. In addition, agile leadership considers change not as a threat but as an opportunity for organizational development and competitive advantage. Accordingly, agile leaders do not ignore long-term sustainability while adopting short-term adaptation strategies. As a result, agile leadership is a leadership model that contributes to a more resilient and innovative structure in the face of change, with its structure that can react quickly to dynamic environmental conditions, making learning continuous, and encouraging employee participation. Agile leadership focuses on responding quickly to change regardless of the sector, supporting a culture of learning and creating collaborative organizations. It is a critical 21st-century leadership model for sustainable success in dynamic and uncertain environments.
