Abstract:

Extraordinary leaders, who emerged as a result of chaos, uncertainty and confusion, are influential people who play an important role in the failure or success of large organizations. However, there is no comprehensive scale that can help classify the extraordinary leaders who have a significant impact in the large social system and world we live in and that can be used to determine their leadership levels. Based on this gap in the literature, the aim of the study is; is to develop a scale that considers extraordinary leadership styles in terms of charismatic, ideological and pragmatic leadership. In this direction, an expression pool was created based on the scenarios that Bedell-Avers, Hunter and Mumford (2008) created as a result of examining the biographies of 120 leaders. An extraordinary leadership scale consisting of 24 items was developed as a result of the analyzes made on a sample covering the employees of hotel businesses, which is the most intense area of the tourism sector in terms of workload.
