The need to train highly educated, competent, motivated professionals of the security sector, to which NGU belongs, is emphasized, whose success is determined by professionalism, adaptability, mobility and leadership qualities. Leadership as a multifaceted socio-historical phenomenon is considered on the basis of theories of leadership, which provides an understanding of the essence of influence on subordinates and commanders; peculiarities of preparation and training. The development of military leadership is related to its very purpose and the challenges of the modern security situation. The significance of the competence approach in the development of the leadership competence of the future officer of the NGU, which is reflected in the new paradigm of military education, is indicated. The figure of a modern military leader at NGU has been updated taking into account a certain model according to the requirements of NGU, in particular, what a leader should be, what he should know and do (perform), his features that ensure the realization of professional competencies. The concept of leadership competence has been updated and the directions of its formation have been clarified. It is noted that for the formation of the leadership competence of the future officer of the NGU, both existing models of leadership, the experience of Ukrainian higher military educational institutions, and successful practices in the development of military leadership in developed countries are important. In this regard, educational programs on leadership, approaches to the formation of leadership competence at the Kyiv Institute of the National Guard of Ukraine and the National Academy of the US Armed Forces were analyzed.
