Abstract

The authors analyze the methodological features of assessment of the student's leadership competencies during their studies and preparation to the future managerial activities. The results of the socio-psychological research of the first year students of the Siberian Academy of Public Administration are presented. These results were obtained by comparative analysis of the individual student's self-assessment of their leadership competencies and the outcomes of individual psychological testing of working styles according to I. Adizes' Leadership Model. The analysis shows that many first year students do have high leadership potential and abilities, but have very vague understanding of the basis of managerial competence in general and the competence of public administrators in particular.
