The article is devoted to the philosophical study of leadership as a social and political phenomenon in a modern context. The interaction of values and ideals of civil society and the image of a modern politician have been considered. Emphasis has been placed on the specific features of a democratic leader. Among them are free communication, respect for citizens’ rights and freedoms, to the public opinion, and unity of one’s own goals with the interests of the people, openness to criticism and discussion, a stimulating function and lack of monopoly in management. It has been concluded that the impact of the image of a political leader on public consciousness and political culture has ambiguous and multi-level nature, as well as the need of more clear and consistent orientation of modern Russian politicians towards universal democratic values.
Keywords: leader; leadership; public consciousness; politics; civil society; democracy; philosophy.
