Abstract: Relationship between organizational culture/climate and creativity/innovation and the role of leadership to transform organizations is discussed based on a literature review. Then, a critical analysis of leadership, organizational culture and innovation capacity of Turkish university system is presented. Long-term sustainability and growth of an organization largely depend on its innovation capacity. Innovation is a direct consequence of various intrinsic and extrinsic factors for an organization, just like for a human being. In order to be innovative, an organization should grow, keep and flourish creative individuals; it must establish and maintain a transparent, open, functional, minimum-hierarchical culture where collective decision-making, risk taking and rewarding for merit are valued. Transformative or charismatic leadership can transform a stagnant organization into a dynamic and innovative form if only a critical mass in the organization supports it.

Abstract: Over the past century, an architect has tended to be regarded as a “master builder”. They are ascribed the combined characteristics of a designer, engineer, sociologist and scientist in their creative faculty for the present modern age. Despite the bequest of the technological era, building processes continue to fragment and the leadership role of the “master builder” is uncertain. Nevertheless, studies have revealed that unusual forces have emerged to change the leadership role architect’s play in the built environment. Therefore, the article explores the multidisciplinary nature of architecture and postulated diversity of content in the architecture profession as an entrepreneurial opportunity for professional sustainability. This conceptual paper recommends innovations in the architectural education system and diversification of the professional practice.
