Abstract
In today’s world, the problem of le adership, primarily academic one, is highly relevant. Natural and social disruptions contribute to declining demographic indices of any country, while people make up one of the most important resources of the society. The problem of influence on the behavior of the community members and groups therefore becomes particularly relevant. Social transformations, primarily, are the processes of globalization. The globalization of the world means a process of worldwide economic, political, and cultural integration and unification. As a result of globalization, the world becomes more interconnected and more dependent on all its subjects. And at the same time, social group sovereignization processes are taking place. Globally, the examples are such processes as Brexit in Europe and republics striving for sovereignty in Russia in the last decade of the twentieth century, while personally, it is manifested in the need for self-actualization. The purpose of this article is to identify theoretical aspects of academic leadership in contemporary Russia. On the basis of social and philosophical approach to the issue under study, we conclude that in the context of the world community globalization and regionalization controversy, people and groups who can influence on others (for various reasons) become particularly important. These are, first of all, scientific and educational communities, as well as their charismatic leaders.
