A conceptual study on quantum leadership: a new intrapersonal powers -environmental forces balance model

Abstract

Today, societies and organizations live in an atmosphere rapidly changing new dynamics. In-depth questioning of new facts requires an urgent responsibility. There is a need for leaders can wisely evaluate leadership opportunities with the quantum approach and master innovative and creative thinking and decision-making processes. The existence of leaders who can understand the contexts and move forward with the right vision, right goals, and strategies has become extremely essential to sustainability. Could it be that it is time to confront the new phenomena emerging from completely different anomalous dynamics, and to discover the new paradigm? For this, the leader's thinking, decision-making, and creative processes must be understood very well. How should the leader's thinking and decision-making processes work in order to be innovative by breaking old paradigms? How should the leader fundamentally balance his/her internal powers with environmental factors? This study contributes to the literature by seeking answers to these questions and developing a new conceptual model in this direction. In this conceptual review article, an original model is explainedbased on quantum leadership. It includes eight dynamics of the leader, namely introversion power, the power of creating a vision, the power of inclusiveness, the power of adaptation, the power of understanding, the power of decision-making, the power of face-off, and the power of solidarity. It also explains what kind of relationship network exists among the dynamics and what the underlying values of each dynamic are.
