Abstract
The leading role of effective managers, leaders, professionals, capable of rapid adaptation to the transformation and modernization processes in the current Ukrainian economy, politics, production, education and services is of particular importance in the context of the dynamic changes that are taking place in the contemporary socio-political, economic and educational space of Ukraine. Therefore, the problem of developing leadership competence of future managers in the university's educational environment arises. The purpose of the research is to substantiate organizational and pedagogical conditions for developing leadership competence of the future managers in the educational environment of universities and to outline the ways of their realisation. It has been found out that organizational and pedagogical conditions should be interpreted as fundamental grounds for combining actions facilitating the process of developing future managers’ leadership competence in the university's educational environment. It is necessary to consider them as well as to implement. The organizational and pedagogical conditions have been defined and substantiated: special training of the scientific and pedagogical tertiary staff in developing future managers’ leadership competence (round tables, workshops, trainings, etc.); enhancement of the process of developing future managers’ leadership competence through the implementation of distance learning in the university's educational environment (realized through the creation of a distance course "Fundamentals of Leadership"); implementation of the “kaizen” system in the educational environment of the university (implemented in the framework of the ongoing seminar-workshop "Kaizen Technology: the Path to Leadership").
