Abstract

The article analyzes the methodological foundations of forming a leader capable of becoming an elite – a gifted individual endowed with leadership qualities and characterized by developed social thinking. In the theoretical studies analyzed by the author, researchers emphasize the need to educate leaders who are able to guide the civilizational movement of society – its elite. Such individuals should possess well-developed moral and spiritual qualities as well as a clear vision of the future of their state. The author proposes an original definition of social leadership and conducts a comparative analysis of interpretations of the concept of social intelligence in a temporal perspective. The comparison demonstrates a significant shift in understanding: definitions formulated in the early 2000s emphasized orientation toward society, whereas contemporary interpretations are primarily focused on individual self-realization. The article presents a leadership paradigm for the development of a gifted individual based on the methodologies of anthropocentrism and synergetics. According to this paradigm, a gifted child should be developed in accordance with modern goals and objectives of educational activity. The methodology of anthropocentrism ensures the maximal development of giftedness grounded in democratic principles of education. The methodology of synergetics highlights self-development of the individual as a complex system governed by internal laws of development. The author also offers a schematic representation of the leadership paradigm, which includes the following components: spiritual and moral qualities; social thinking; national education; meaningful life values; goal-setting and ambition; developed intellect; developed psyche; development of individual giftedness; development of creativity as a condition for creative activity; and the development of soft skills. It is concluded that the development of a gifted individual should take place within a leadership paradigm whose core components include the formation of specifically leadership-related qualities – social thinking and ambition – alongside competencies defined by the requirements of general secondary education standards.
