Özet

This conceptual article provides a key frame on leadership and focuses on the qualities, attributes and the characteristics of the ideal, well-balanced leaders within the concept of the Icarus syndrome depending on the Greek mythology which is dealt with the leaders who are narcissist, over-ambitious and have planned everything grandly but failed miserably. It’s so certain that the ideal leadership may vary from culture to culture and nation since it is rather affected by traditional and cultural values. However, the ideal leadership can easily be identified at first step by how much or how little their followers looked up to them in organizations. In sum, it’s widely known that most of the organizations are simply as powerful and competent as their leader so it’s very important that to find out and recognize the qualities of a well-balanced, outstanding leader. Therefore, in this study, the attributes and qualities of the ideal leaders and bad leaders will be outlined within the context of the Icarus syndrome which is usually mentioned with excessive pride, selfish ambition and hubris and the recommendations will be made for the ideal, well-balanced leaders in organizations.
