Leadership in the educational management process is the ability to gather individuals around a common goal and goal, to guide them to this goal, to motivate them, to guide them at all stages, to ensure compliance with the rules. The ability to make good decisions allows leaders to achieve success in difficult decisions. Even if these decisions are not perfect, the character of the leader forms the key element, and the value and quality of his leadership largely form this key element. Different definitions are made about leadership from the point of view of different people. So far, no clear framework has been drawn on the personality traits to which the concept of leadership is attributed, but it is obvious that the majority is in agreement on the point of situationality. There is no standard personality trait for every leader. Leaders have an important influence on the success of organizations. For this reason, the subject should be focused on with sensitivity. Interactionist and transformational leadership models, which have various styles in the leadership role, are leadership styles that are becoming increasingly important. In any case, just as there is no standard leadership, there are also leadership concepts that contain different components. It is a concept that contains four elements in leadership and concerns social sciences as well as business life. The elements of leadership include the following; the leadership process, which includes two-way communication, is an interactive process, leadership involves interaction and influence, leadership requires the presence of a group to achieve a common goal, there should be goals that are clearly and transparently set out. Within the framework of leadership styles, traditional leadership models have become insufficient over time, and this situation has led to the emergence of new leadership styles today instead. For example; in a leadership that recognizes full freedom, all authority is distributed to employees, subordinates can make and implement decisions in their own tasks. Employees are released by the leader, the leader supports his employees. Transformational leadership, on the other hand, is a leadership style that allows the organization to adapt to environmental changes as a visionary, sudden and effective, and reveals the competencies and skills of employees based on it. In this leadership approach, which supports the transformation and change of employees who follow the leader, the leader deals with the self and gives real responsibilities to his employees. While the leader directs the behavior with his own value, he also determines the values of the employees. Key Words: Educational Managers, Competencies and Leadership Characteristics
