society who has longed for
something novel to break the lasting monotony. His
optimism gave way to the transformation of Turkey
from a
self-enclosed society to a forward-looking society at a
large
scale. Thus forming a mile stone in this respect. Mr. Ozal
struggled notably with both masses composing nation's humble
population and the elites who used to control bureaucracy.
The discourse he had and applied effectively enabled him to
implement his reforms in a top-down fashion with consents
from the conservative masses as well as elites who were more
prone to enjoy modernizations. Abroad, again thanks to Ozal’s negotiating skills, Turkey increased its credibility
and gained prestige in securing a fine deal with the
international financial community. His neo Liberalism, on
the other hand, was a key to his achievements both at home
and abroad.
In brief; leadership traits he has, correspond well to the
implementation of his reforms in a moderate preservative
Turkish society, particularly in against Turkish business
community, primarily oriented toward the lucrative internal
market. Masses who have been long content with
their monotony, had a strong initial reservation for Ozal’s
reforms thus making his deal more difficult to realize.
Nevertheless, his bold leadership style coupled with
personal traits he has, were more than enough to ease up
his works considerably. At the outset of our project, what
will be seen are correlations between Ozal’s achievements
and his personal traits with a particular focus on the
tracks he has left on the hearts of Turkish society. Overall,
he set a model of leadership for the youth to be lured into
the world Diplomacy in particular.
