Abstract:

Globalization and the speed of change make it difficult for businesses to maintain their ability to compete in the environment in which they operate. Since this environment is more uncertain and more complex than ever, it is possible for businesses to act in a customer-oriented manner by developing agility capability. In addition, managers have an important task to ensure the spread of agility culture to every layer of the organisation. The manager, who is responsible for ensuring the formation of such a culture in the organisation, must first develop his own agility skills. The way to improve this is possible by adopting agile leadership, considered the most innovative leadership style. An agile leader is a leadership style that is flexible and able to respond quickly to change, anticipate risk, and seize opportunities by increasing the organisation’s awareness of the environment. This leadership style is vital for businesses to increase their agility and create a positive atmosphere within the organisation. The aim of this study, which was created by choosing the literature review method from qualitative research methods, is to provide a better understanding of agile leadership and to emphasise the importance of this leadership style for businesses. This study, a guide for business managers and researchers, is expected to contribute to the field.
