LTEfektyvi Lietuvos ekonominės ir socialinės sistemos plėtra šiandien asocijuojama su veiksminga verslo ir viešojo administravimo institucijų veikla. Tai sureikšmina žmogiškojo kapitalo svarbą ir jo kokybę. Aplinkos pokyčiai lemia, jog aukštojo mokslo sistemoje naujai rengiami viešojo sektoriaus administratoriai ir verslo vadybininkai turi ne tik perprasti valstybines ir verslo sistemas, jų veikimo bei reguliavimo mechanizmus, bet ir inicijuoti procesus, naudodamiesi atsirandančiomis galimybėmis. Dėl šios priežasties lyderio gebėjimai tampa labai svarbūs ugdant vadybinį darbą dirbsiančius specialistus. Straipsnyje pristatomas atliktas Lietuvos aukštųjų mokyklų studentų, studijuojančių pagal viešojo administravimo ir verslo valdymo programas, tyrimas. Jo metu įvertintos busimųjų vadybininkų asmeninės savybės ir gebėjimas būti lyderiais.

These qualities will help them to integrate into the European Union's and other organizations' activities.During the research it was pointed that the other important part of the leadership was expressed much weaker. The least expressed features are continuing of the development (27 % had this feature) and ability to teach others (32 %). These results reveal the weak side of leader training; which can have influence on the preparation of high qualification specialists. Moreover, continuing education is becoming more important in European and Lithuanian education documents. Continuing education is called an engine of harmonious social life which will enhance to continue education for more people.
