FURKAN AS A LEADER
Freedom to choose how to spend my day defines my success; starting my own business granted me this freedom and success.
Leadership is not who knows it all.
Great Leaders are also inclusive leaders.
The future of leadership is about the heart, not the brain, not the muscles.
When I think of a leader, I think of a person with a vision.
FIRST, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, THEN OTHERS. NOBODY KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN YOU DO.

This approach helps him stay mentally healthy and productive, enabling him to lead effectively while managing his personal well-being.
