In a society of a developing market economy, success largely depends on the ability to work in a competitive environment: quickly respond to current situations, process information and, based on it, predict the future course of events, take adequate conclusions and work in accordance with them. Everything described is a characteristic of a leader.
A leader is a person who follows his convictions, who acts on the basis of a set of principles. Leaders see their future decades ahead. The leader forms in his head the final image of where he intends to be after a certain period of time. And then he uses opportunities he already has to realize this image [1].
Being a more authoritative person, the leader, perhaps, plays a major role in organizing the overall work and regulating relations in the group. Leadership must be seen as a mass emergence: the leader does not think alone, he appears every time as an element of the mass structure.
In foreign psychology, there are a large number of various theories of leadership, the most popular of which are the theory of traits and the situational theory of leadership. Although person's personality traits persist over time, his behavior varies significantly from situation to situation. Despite these variations, human behavior in different situations is more constant.
According to the theory of traits, not every person has the opportunity to be a leader, but only those who have a specific set of personal qualities, a set or a combination of psychological traits. Situational theory implies, in fact, that leadership is a product of the situation. In all sorts of specific situations, individual members of the group stand out who are superior to others in at least one quality, but that is why the quality turns out to be important in this situation, the person who owns it becomes a leader. Therefore, the theory of traits or qualities of a leader depends on the situation. The main drawback of these approaches lies in the underestimation of the fact that leadership as a socio-psychological phenomenon appears as a result of human interaction and certain socially conditioned events of objective activity. As the starting point must be taken not only elementary situations, but also certain tasks of group work, in which specific members of the group have every chance to show the ability to organize it to conclude these tasks [2].
