Abstract:

 Many civilizations have come and gone from the history of world civilization for thousands of years. The Turkish nation is one of the rare nations that are old, ancient, deep-rooted and leave traces in every period of history. Being an ancient and ancient nation means owning a culture, civilization, and a world of values that has been going on since the past. The longevity of a civilization concept means that it has its own characteristics, principles, culture, accumulation, state tradition and management culture. The Turkish states, which have continued to exist in every period of history, have contributed to the development, growth and formation of a great accumulation of this understanding of civilization. Turks have a unique understanding of the state, the importance they attach to the state, their point of view on the concepts of nation, country, sovereignty. Great importance was given to the rulers in all the established Turkish states, and special sensitivity was shown to raising statesmen. It can be seen that leadership is one of the most basic issues of this understanding of civilization in many issues, from the personality traits of managers to their physical characteristics, from their ruling with justice to their sense of morality, from their attention to merit to how they treat the people under their management, from their adherence to traditions to their courage.

 Binlerce yıldır dünya uygarlık tarihinden birçok medeniyet gelip geçmiştir. Türk milleti eski, kadim, köklü ve tarihin her döneminde izler bırakan nadir milletlerden birisidir. Eski ve kadim millet olmak, geçmişten beri süregelen bir kültürün, medeniyetin, değer dünyasının sahibi olmak anlamına gelir. Bir medeniyet tasavvurunun uzun ömürlü olması; kendine has özelliklerinin, ilkelerinin, kültürünün, birikiminin, devlet geleneğinin ve yönetim kültürünün bulunması demektir. Tarihin her döneminde varlığını devam ettiren Türk devletleri, bu medeniyet anlayışının gelişmesine, büyümesine ve büyük bir birikimin oluşmasına katkı sağlamıştır. Türklerin kendilerine özgü bir devlet anlayışı, devlete verdikleri önem, millet, ülke, egemenlik kavramlarına bakış açıları vardır. Kurulan tüm Türk devletlerinde yöneticilere büyük önem verilmiş, devlet adamı yetiştirilmesine özel hassasiyet gösterilmiştir. Yöneticilerin kişilik özelliklerinden fiziksel özelliklerine, adaletle hükmetmelerinden ahlak anlayışlarına, liyakate önem vermelerinden yönetimleri altındaki halka nasıl muamele ettiklerine, geleneklere bağlılıklarından cesaretlerine kadar pek çok konuda liderliğin bu medeniyet anlayışının en temel konularından birisi olduğu görülebilir.
