Popis: The realities of today require quick and effective decisions in all spheres of life. One of the conditions that will contribute to the development of this process is the development of human leadership qualities. Having them, a person will learn to take responsibility for their actions and their consequences, to adapt to changing conditions of life. The views of modern domestic and foreign scientists are concentrated on the problem of leadership. In it they see the success not only of a particular person, but also of the state as a whole. Since the formation of a personality mostly takes place in primary school, the purpose of this publication was to determine the leadership qualities and features of their development in future primary school teachers, who must have them in order to form them in their pupils. In order to find out the state of formation of leadership qualities in future teachers, an experiment was conducted with first-year students of the first (bachelor's) level of higher education majoring in “Primary Education”. In order to determine the levels of leadership development, the methodology “Diagnostics of leadership abilities” (E. Zharikov, E. Krushelnytsky) was used. The data analysis shows that 78 % of students have poorly expressed leadership qualities. This is a demonstration that it will be difficult for students to develop these qualities on their own. The development and testing of tasks that will help students develop their leadership qualities and effectively carry out the educational process in primary school will encourage the solution of this problem. The presented tasks are focused on the use of group forms of work to improve leadership skills and stimulate students to self-development and self-realization.
