ФОРМУВАННЯ ТА РОЗВИТОК ЛІДЕРСТВА В СИСТЕМІ ДЕРЖАВНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ

The article is devoted to the study of the main problems of the formation and development of leadership in the system of public administration. The results of the research of the phenomenon of leadership in relation to state management of social processes are presented, and its stable characteristics are given. The presented research is based on dialectical methods of cognition, which ensure its complex and objective character. The methodological basis was the methods of information concentration and forecasting. Classical types of leadership and ways of their modernization under the conditions of transformation of political reality are considered. The need to find and introduce new types of political leaders, leaders in the state administration system is substantiated.

It is emphasized that there is an excellent need for managers-leaders worldwide since leadership remains a kind of strategic resource in short supply. The modern perception of a leader is characterized by the fact that he should be considered primarily as a carrier of innovative organizational culture, as the main agent of permanent changes in the country. For a domestic economy striving for integration into the global system, for obvious reasons, the need for leaders is especially significant. Leadership in public administration is perceived as a complex concept that reflects the diversity of management processes, as well as the pluralism of organizational forms. It is noted that leadership can be associated with a person (his qualities, abilities, orientation to a dominant position in the organization); process (relationships and interactions) and product (results of individual activity).

It has been proven that the most important factor in overcoming the crisis state of the modern domestic socio-economic system is managers-leaders, who are recognized as the main subjects of organizational changes and bearers of a new corporate culture. The situation is also of particular importance due to the fact that, due to known circumstances, insufficiently trained people or even those without management experience have come to power. The latter need leaders of a qualitatively different type, able to be effective in crisis and changing realities. Leaders of this type can be characterized as transformative, as they are characterized by a purposeful search for changes, a desire to develop new approaches to solving common problems and discover new areas of activity, and the ability to manage resources effectively. It is noted that the main functions of such a leader should be primarily strategic and focused on a longer perspective. Successful operational leadership decisions become possible only in the context of strategic leadership.
