Summary/Abstract: Development of logistics requires a multidimensional view of the business and its results. The human factor is not appreciated sufficiently by logisticians who, concentrating on technology or information systems, neglect this factor of logistic success. Meanwhile, it is still a man (manager) makes final decisions, must cooperate in the supply chain, negotiate or resolve conflicts. The condition of being an efficient and effective manager is to have competence resources that go beyond the area in which he operates on a daily basis, in this case, logistics. The aim of the article is to identify the model competence profile of the logistics manager for all three levels of management: operational, tactical and strategic. Manager’s resources were analyzed in three areas: knowledge, skills and social competences. To identify the manager’s resources necessary from the market needs` point of view, professional and didactic experience of the author of the article was used. Reference was also made to the study plan for the field of logistics at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW. Conclusions contain proposals for changes regarding the participation of knowledge, skills and social competences in the entire education in the field of logistics, as well as the scope of education oriented to the area of business logistics. Proposals for changes in the field of logistics education may be useful in introducing modifications that allow for a better adjustment of the graduate’s profile to the labor market`s needs.
