This paper investigates a phenomenon of leadership and factors that determine the formation of an efficient leader. The methods of analysis, comparison, concretization, generalization are used as the operation methods. With the help of action methods scientific theories, confirmed practically, are systematized, contradictions are distinguished and solved, hypotheses are made. General relations for the topic of leadership, capable of forecasting and suggesting the major trends in leadership development, are formed. A theory of charismatic leadership is the most suitable to the contemporary conditions of the society development. Leadership is a natural gift, which develops and improves for the whole life. The stages of a leader formation - infancy, childhood, pupilage, maturity. During all the stages a leader, performing communications, experiences the "mirror effect", which has both the positive and negative characteristics. The depth of the potential formation depends mostly of a qualitative level of those "mirrors", which the leader looks at during all the stages of his, or her formation. There is a two-factor model of the leader's efficiency offered in the article, suggesting a combination of two roles - a visionary and hierarch. We conclude that a contemporary leader is in a permanent choice of a basic growth point acting under the conditions of uncertainty, or a need to continuously correct her/his strategy and tactics.
