Ongoing Projects

• Leadership Lab

  Founded in 2017, Leadership Lab (LLab) focuses mainly on the following issues: (1) Why do people emerge and not emerge as leaders? Worries about leadership (WAL) is a new concept developed by Aycan to tackle the question of “why do individuals not nominate themselves for leadership positions?”. See, Aycan & Shelia (2019) paper for more details. Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s68B8P4CjeU, and (2) Why is there a disconnect between leadership emergence and leadership effectiveness literature. It is becoming more apparent now that those who emerge as leaders do not necessarily become effective in this role. Yet, the literature is silent about this gap. click here for more details

• From Culture of Power to Empowerment: A Model for Leadership and Culture Change

  The “Power to Empowerment” model is developed by Aycan specifically for high power distant cultures. The next generation leaders in high power distant cultures should aim at transforming the culture to support empowerment. Aycan’s model proposes five ways to do that. This model is taught as a full-semester class at Koc University: ALIS 360: Next Generation Leadership: Transforming the Culture of Power to Empowerment. This model also guides the consulting work and corporate trainings.

• Academic and Life Skills (ALIS)http://dos.ku.edu.tr/tr/ALIS

  ALIS is a unique program born out of the need to prepare students for the college life and beyond. The topics covered are self-awareness and goal setting; time management; stress management; and communication. All KU students have to take this course and pass it before continuing in their degree program. It is an experiential course with lots of activities and self-reflexive exercises.

  I am the founder of ALIS in 2010; I am also the Academic Director of the program (click here for the video)

• Engelsiz Show (No-Disability Show)

  I initiated this project in 2002 to raise awareness in college students about the fact that disability does not mean ‘lack of ability’. Every year I invite extraordinary individuals with disabilities to our campus and let them interact with our students (i.e., future leaders in organizations and society) in a lively and fun show! The moderators of the ‘show’ have been celebrities in Turkey. Some students come to the show just to see those celebrities, but they leave the show being ‘enlightened’ about disabled individuals (click here for posters).

  The show idea has been suggested by my dear friend Serkan Erol who has supports it in any way possible. Engelsiz Show has been organized in collaboration with KU Gönüllüleri team (Koc University Volunteers) (click here for more information).
