THE INTERACTION BETWEEN LEADERSHIP AND TOLERANCE IN INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE

Abstract

This article elucidates the interrelation between leadership and tolerance as integral characteristics of
initiative. The leadership qualities outlined by E. Jarikov and E. Krushelnitsky, utilising the "Leader" method,
are interwoven with the extent of personal tolerance ascertained through Z.A. Abidova's "Self-assessment of
tolerance level" methodology. The authors categorised the study participants into two groups based on their
leadership traits; these groups, selected using statistical methods, were then compared with one another with
regard to their degree of tolerance, and the results of the analysis were put forth. The connection between
tolerance and leadership warrants further exploration, given that a high level of tolerance coupled with
moderate leadership qualities are crucial indicators of individual initiative.
