The role of the individual in determining the vectors of socio-economic development and implementation of state management decisions

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of human traits like “charisma,” and its origin, features, and character of a trait. It is interpreted as a natural factor or an acquired quality of a leader (heroic person), an engine of social progress in extreme conditions. Using the example of a specific charismatic personality, this article reveals the peculiarities of his development and career growth in social transformations. Also, similar categories and concepts in the context of "person-personality," "charisma-charismatic," and "hero-heroism" in their relationship and interdependence are studied. Despite all the adverse circumstances, Ukraine resisted the unprovoked Russian attack furiously. Only the Heroic, charismatic people, charismatic commanders, and exceptional warriors, in whose veins not only restless Cossack blood but also professional ones boiled, were able to resist a deadly attack from a barbaric country. Today, the words "charismatic leader," "charismatic commander," "charismatic volunteer," "heroic person," "heroic deed," and "distinguished personality" characterize the Ukrainian nation and Ukrainians. In the complex processes of state-building, it is not the conventional beauties and academic intellects that rise to prominence, but the 'charismatic personalities' who possess the ability to tackle intricate tasks and guide their subordinates in production, military, and defense tasks. These proactive, professional, and charismatic individuals often ascend to leadership positions in science, practice, production, and the service sector, achieving remarkable career growth, even in volunteer activities and military and defense affairs. It is worth noting that these definitions, terms, and concepts are more frequently associated with psychological narratives than with management categories or the resolution of current production issues. This underscores the importance of comprehending the journey of these individuals, how they evolve and transform into the figures they are today. Keywords: charisma, hero, personality, society, war, socio-economic development, transformative society.
