An interdisciplinary study: Quantum leadership and hybrid leadership

Abstract

Leadership paradigm has been changing in terms of meanings as well as notions as part of continual innovation; changing emerging with globalism does change organizations, organizations’ culture, and the expectations of workers from the organizations and also from the leader. The first of these paradigms is quantum leadership that can be explained best with quantum physics’ features like disorder, chaos, uncertainty, and uncontinuity. In this study, hybrid leadership and quantum leadership paradigms are studied separately, firstly quantum leadership. The second leadership paradigm is hybrid leadership by Gronn. Hybrid leadership, on the one side, focuses on the leaders that manage their organizations by legal ways. On the other side, hybrid leaders are expected to show distributed leadership features like being flexible, reliable, cooperative, and active and encouraging the followers. Then, these two leadership paradigms that have the leadership abilities of the twenty-first century are tried to be studied together with an interdisciplinary study in terms of their similarities and differences.
