It is substantiated that the image and personality of a political leader influences not only the perception and support of the electorate and the apparatus of power, but also the longevity of this support under the influence of the crisis situation. As a result, it is shown that the political leader either continues to follow the chosen strategy, or gives up his strategy and in search of support “fusses» and makes a number of unreasonable decisions, of course, and the results of such activities are strikingly different.This is confirmed by the political events in Germany and Greece, where two completely different personalities of political leaders initiated a number of important political changes and processes of global importance during the euro crisis. It is concluded that the personality of a political leader is a key source of change in the country during a crisis situation. It is the activities and decisions of the political leader that determine the strategy of overcoming the crisis and further transformations in the country
