Leadership is a State of Being

Leading Turkish Education / Leadership for Yourself and Others

Leadership is not a set of specific attributes one neatly attains, but rather a tapestry of skills, understanding and attitudes that allows one to grow while encouraging the growth of others. Leaders don't just succeed, they lead. And those who follow tend to share in their successes.

Leaders can come in many shapes, sizes and personalities, and in today’s diverse workplace, companies need all kinds. Consultants with Dervish Consulting have spent years honing programs to help people unlock their inner leaders and to bring the principles of effective leadership into all parts of their lives.

In 2013, Dervish Consulting collaborated with a leading Turkish university to bring its ‘Leadership for Yourself and Others’ to the participants of its selective Talent Management Program. An intensive full-day course, it is designed to help participants realize their personal and professional goals and to recognize the ways in which they are both helping and hurting their own attempts to reach these goals. This course allows people to become acquainted with the kind of natural leader they are meant to be.

8 hours was not long to spend with Yeşim, but her direction was so flawless that by the end of the day, I was not the same person! She led us to discover the saboteur and leader within each of us, and tactics to diminish negative thoughts while keeping our inner leader close. Beyond the positive professional impact of this course, these are principles I can pass on to my children to guide them to have self respect and pursue a quality life.
