Abstract

The concepts of leadership and management are often confused with each other and sometimes used synonymously. Though these terms are in close relationship they are fundamentally different. In this study, the differences between the concepts of leadership and management are analyzed. Leadership concepts and approaches are our main arguments. The characteristics of successful leaders have been the subject of research from the early periods to the present. It is widely accepted that the leader has an important place in military, political and economic successes. In addition, based on the basic characteristics of the leadership styles applied in this study, the leadership characteristics of the Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who has given a stamp on the history of the Turkish Nation and which has left its mark on the era, have been emphasized.
