Leadership

Leadership brings together academic video series covering a wide range of topics, from organizational behavior to decision-making processes, from power and authority dynamics to team and change management. These contents treat leadership not merely as an individual talent, but as a scientific discipline that shapes corporate behavior and organizational dynamics. From team performance to corporate culture, from conflict management to motivation processes, this field plays a decisive role at every level of organizations.

Where a leader draws power from and how that power is used is one of the core research areas of organizational behavior science. You can take a look at French and Raven's theory of power bases, which classifies the sources of power and authority. In our series, academic theories such as this are examined together with real management and decision-making processes.

Topics Covered in the Leadership Series

These series cover the fundamental topics of organizational behavior, from sources of power and authority to decision-making processes, from team dynamics to organizational change management. Topics such as motivation theories, conflict management, organizational culture, and management styles are examined through an approach that brings together academic theories with real corporate scenarios.

It is a finding frequently emphasized in the management literature that effective leadership, beyond technical competencies, is also closely related to emotional intelligence. On this topic, you can take a look at Daniel Goleman's article “What Makes a Leader?” , published in Harvard Business Review. In our series, concepts such as emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and empathy are also examined in relation to this practice.

The Relationship Between Organizational Behavior and Leadership

Organizational behavior, as the discipline that examines the attitudes, motivation, and interactions of individuals and groups within organizations, is an integral part of this field. The decisions a leader makes, the communication style used, and the sources of power drawn upon are explained directly through organizational behavior theories; this is why leadership and organizational behavior are two fields frequently examined together in the academic literature.

The series in this section cover a wide range, from classical management theories to modern organizational behavior approaches, from individual skills to corporate culture and change management. Our aim is to present this not as an isolated skill set, but as a systemic phenomenon that affects organizations as a whole. This awareness is treated not merely as an academic discussion, but as a competency directly applicable to everyday management practice.

Leadership Approaches: From Theory to Practice

These theories have evolved over time from trait theories toward situational and transformational approaches. These series examine, comparatively and with examples from everyday life and the business world, which approaches are more effective in which organizational contexts. In this way, viewers learn to develop leadership skills suited to context, rather than relying on a single correct style. This approach aims to carry this development beyond theoretical knowledge into everyday corporate practice.

Decision-Making and Corporate Communication

Effective leadership is closely related to the ability to make the right decision at the right time and to communicate that decision effectively across the organization. A wide range of topics, from rational decision-making models to the bounded rationality approach, and from top-down communication structures to participative decision-making processes, are addressed within these series.

Corporate communication is an integral part of this practice, not only as a transfer of information but also in terms of building trust and securing organizational commitment. The series in this section explain decision-making and communication skills together with academic theories, using concrete examples from industry. On this topic, you can also take a look at our Business Management series .
