4. Erçetin’s Plasma Leadership Model in the Context of Education and School Administration

Leadership remains the fountain of educational institutions and the education system. There is no way one can discuss education and educational institutions without a leadership vacuum. Leadership has, thus, attracted researchers at all times seeking to establish the most ideal leadership style or approach. Nevertheless, research continues to stall in lieu of situational issues influencing leadership. That explainsk why studies on leadership have gone beyond being ordinary to feature applicability of hitherto external aspects to the concept of leadership. One of such attempts led to the concretization of plasma leadership through a model developed by Erçetin (Understanding Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Turkey with plasma as a metaphor of the kourth state of matter. In Ş.Ş. Erçetin (Ed.), Chaos, complexity and leadership 2014, (pp. 1–13). Springer, Switzerland, Ch 1, DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-18693-1, 2016). This article, therefore, examines Erçetin’s plasma leadership model (Erçetin, Understanding Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Turkey with plasma as a metaphor of the fourth state of matter. In Ş.Ş. Erçetin (Ed.), Chaos, complexity and leadership 2014, (pp. 1–13). Springer, Switzerland, Ch 1, DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-18693-1, 2016) which creates a new theoretical framework in the field of leadership. This is done in the context of school and educational management.
