The goal of the paper is to determine the elements of the male and female leadership competence on the individual level. According to empirical research, it is possible to find matching assessments of leadership competencies by men and women, certain significant differences exist as well. For women leadership is rapidly becoming an important and pivotal factor on an individual level while men find the significance of this competence declining.
