EN
The aim of the article is to define the political leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and present the attributes and factors which primarily influenced the effectiveness of his leadership in the Turkish society. Erdoğan has a strong and unquestioned position in his own party, as well as on the Turkish political scene. For a significant part of the society, he is an irreplaceable person and the best leader in the history of the country. Factors which have a major influence on his success are of social, economic and cultural nature. He is a leader, who can easily turn a crisis to his own advantage and convince his followers to support his own arguments. Erdoğan’s activities, which were firmly focused on economic issues, health care reforms and Turkey’s integration with the European Union, enabled him to gain the support of even this part of the society whose values are distant from the ones he accepts. At the same time, he represents a confrontational attitude towards political opponents and often expresses his reluctance towards them.

Celem artykułu jest zdefiniowanie przywództwa politycznego Recepa Tayyipa Erdoğana, przedsta- wienie jego atrybutów oraz czynników, które w głównej mierze wpłynęły na skuteczność przywódz- twa w tureckim społeczeństwie. Erdoğan posiada silną i niekwestionowaną pozycję we własnej partii i na tureckiej scenie politycznej. Dla znacznej części społeczeństwa jest postacią niezastąpio- ną i najlepszym przywódcą w historii kraju. Czynniki, które w głównej mierze wpływają na sukces jego przywództwa mają charakter społeczny, ekonomiczny oraz kulturowy. Jest to przywódca, który z łatwością potrafi przekształcić kryzys w korzyść dla siebie i przekonać zwolenników do własnych racji. Działania Erdoğana mocno skoncentrowane na kwestiach gospodarczych, reformach służby zdrowia i integracji Turcji z Unią Europejską pozwoliły mu zdobyć poparcie nawet tej części społeczeństwa, której wartości odbiegają od przyjętych przez niego wartości. Jednocześnie przejawia on konfrontacyjną postawę wobec oponentów politycznych i wyraża niechętny stosunek wobec nich.
