Abstract :As the speed and dimensions of globalization increase, it has become more important to evaluate local and global processes in a harmonious manner in leadership processes. Having a global perspective is seen as the key to sustainability. There are many studies on the leaders who have taken place in Turkey so far. However, in the research on the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, whose leadership process is still ongoing in terms of the leadership model in the history of the Republic of Turkey, new research is needed, especially in the context of global leadership qualities. For this reason, a total of 34 interviewers, 29% of whom were experts at doctorate level or above, were reached through semi-structured interview questions. The results of the research reveal that Erdogan basically displays a proactive foreign policy in the axis of global leadership and develops an independent policy against imperialism and westernization in Turkey. Interviewers generally stated that Erdogan adopts an approach that serves world peace. In addition, among the themes discovered, there are the unifying approaches that support each of the Turkic republics and Islamic countries, the sympathy of peoples outside of Turkey, and the respectability of world leaders. Among the leading personal leadership features, such as rhetoric, charisma, hardworking, being a follower of work, taking risks, being courageous, having quick insight, and having a strong memory have emerged. It has been discovered that Erdogan\`s personal and value-oriented characteristics are in harmony with each other. The results support the results of previous studies.
