The understanding the place of personality in history, its relationship with power and society as a whole is considered in the paper taking into account geography, social and economic characteristics, historical spiritual origins of the North Caucasian ethnic groups. A retrospective journey into history and philosophy allows comparing the options of the human community developed by peoples and civilizations – the relationship of the individual with power, with the values of freedom, knowledge, experience of capitalism, liberalism, socialism, to search for the most acceptable for Russia and its regions. Much attention is paid to European experience, which managed to accumulate the achievements of upbringing, education and science. In our opinion, the relations of personality and society in European civilization are refracted by a through line of power and knowledge, truth and freedom, perfectly revealed in the philosophical work of Nietzsche and Foucault. Their approach is very critical striking not so much with its objectivity but with pessimism and nihilism. Modern societies are disciplinary, and appropriate procedures as an interrelated sequence of actions of power and society, form such a person, having the ultimate goal of establishing dominance over it. This is not carried out in an obvious way, but by many layers of socio-political and cultural acts of the state. The paper gives preference to a regional civil society with Eurasian basic values that have the character of ideological-forming, resistant to the twists and turns of globalization. They form the spiritual structure of peoples and allow them preserving their identity, which is the goal and task of historical progress. Not the search for some main universal ways of development, but the desire of peoples to sufficiently large, but local civilizations, to communities in which optimal harmony of personality and state, citizen and power, freedom and responsibility is possible.

The paper reveals some aspects of the problem of forming a complex of qualities that characterize the phenomenon of creative leadership in school students. The interest in this problem is explained by the increased need of modern Russian society and its relevance in scientific psychological and pedagogical and socio-psychological problems. The prerequisite for the study was the contradiction between the urgent need for creative leaders in various spheres of production, management, in creative and spiritual life and the absence of a systematic purposeful state policy in this field. At the same time, it is stated that if in foreign science from the beginning of the 1960s, studies of the concept of creative leadership are carried out, but in Russian scientific thought, the concept of creative leadership is still poorly understood from the point of view of its formation. Several aspects of the problem of leadership are reviewed, such as the ability of a leader to lead other people to solve various problems, including creative ones; the concept of creativity is analyzed as the ability to think in an original, non-standard, creative way, to generate innovative cultural products. The phenomenon of creative leadership is considered by the authors, first of all, as a person’s expressed ability to lead a group of people to achieve various goals that are important for this group, to implement creative ideas and projects, while the directions, methods, means of their implementation are innovative. The paper presents the results of an experimental study conducted to determine the nature of the relationship between creative leadership and creative thinking. The novelty of the study is determined by the use of an original series of methods that allow for a comprehensive assessment of the formation of creative leadership in school students and the presence of a correlation between the indicators of the creative leadership methodology with various factors characterizing creative thinking.

Research background: Researching the topic of personality profiles of future managers is one of the international challenges. In a global world, it is ideal to find framework for ideally pursuing this profession. Existing studies indicate rather influences of gender or other socio-demographic factors rather than the study programs of university students. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to describe selected personality characteristics of university students in management in comparison with a group of students from other fields at the same university. The following characteristics were measured: a) personality profile based on the Big Five in the field of neuroticism, extraversion, openness to change, conscientiousness and friendliness, and then b) locus of control and c) coping strategies. Methods: Quantitative research was carried out, where a battery of standardized tools was used as a research technique: the standardized NEO-FFI questionnaire describing the above personality traits, the SVF-78 questionnaire measuring coping strategies and the IPC scale questionnaire measuring internal and external locus of control. The questionnaires were administered to a total of 164 management students in České Budějovice (South Bohemian Region). Findings & Value added: From the point of view of NEO-FFI, economists differ in the item conscientiousness (p = 0.005; F = 4.387), which in the case of this field also came out as the most significantly supported characteristic. On the contrary, the property neuroticism was the least represented in the target group. The locus of control of management students differs compared to other fields in the P dimension (p = 0.009; F = 3.868), so these students believe that their situation is managed by rather influential people. No relationship was recorded within coping strategies across disciplines, positive strategies prevail among students.
