The purpose of the present study is to describe the roles and responsibilities of academic  \nleaders. Specifically it aimed to provide answers to following questions: What are the  \ncompetencies of academic leadership? What are the approaches determined by academic leaders in the management of organizational process? A phenomenological research design of qualitative research was used. The participants of the study consist of 13 senior managers from various positions in a university in Turkey and they were determined through maximum variation sampling method. In collection of the data, a semi-structured interview model was used.  \nAccording to the results of the study, the managers participating in the study categorize the taskson the focus of academic leadership role into three groups,“bureaucratic works”,“the works about instructors” and “educational works”. When the views of the managers about the factors shaping the academic leadership role were studied, scientific and techonological advances, socio-cultural background and personal factors played important role in the process.  \nKey words: Leadership, academic leadership, higher education.  \n1. Introduction  \nToday, there are many difficulties that the universities are exposed to. Some of these are the management of institutional change processes, employing the best instructors, staff and pupils in universities, the use of technology in education, meeting the increasing demands of the people, financial institutions, employers and students and finding new resources and financial models. This new organizational environment needs leaders who will challenge these changes, promote the occasions that will allow the innovations to happen, foster the environment of trust, be trusted and be successful in the future (Brown, 2001) .  \nThe change of demand and general assumption towards higher education has led to some changes not only about the purpose, nature and the place in society of higher education but also about leadership and management systems. Unlike traditional management model, universities are the institutions consisting of scientists/instructors in which the principles of local administrations are carried out in high level of democracy and decision-making process, where an understanding of leadership was improved based on the responsibility and common institutional understanding and in which entrepreneurship was raised in the management of universities. However, actual approaches/thoughts about leadership bring into the front the new approaches and behaviours about leadership (Joyce & O’Boyle, 2013) .  \nThe type of leadership that should be displayed in higher educational institutions is academic leadership. An academic leader is a person who motivates, inspires and guides the instructors in the way of reaching targets (Siddique, Aslam, Khan & Fatima, 2011) . According to Marshall, Adams, Cameron and Sullivan (2000), academic leadership covers the duties and operations of the appointed leaders to the legal responsible fields. According to Askling and Stensaker (2002), academic leaders direct people and groups into a common purpose as social interaction process. According to Koen and Bitzer (2010), academic leadership is described with vision, adaptable to the process of change,  \ncompetencies, and effective leadership and transformation skills. Meanwhile, according to Jones and Holdaway (1996), academic leadership is based on the activities of the department chairs about programs, the process about faculties and personal academical activities.  \nAt the start of the factors shaping the role of academic leadership, the qualification of leadership comes first. These qualifications can be defined as personal qualities, behaviours, skills, values and knowledge (Shahmandi, Silong, İsmail, Samah, & Othman, 2011) .
