Abstract

Our paper focuses on the pre-school children group and the developing system of interpersonal relationship in it which together represent an exciting background for studying leadership. There are few leaders in a group of pre-school children. It happens quite often that children who have leaders’ potential due to age specifics (e.g. inflated self-esteem, egocentrism), or personal characteristics (e.g. temperament, undeveloped self-control) quite often have problems in the relationship with their peers. Among various aspects of this problem, a study of different styles of pre-school children leadership and their interrelation with sociometric status as the marker of acceptance/non-acceptance of personal and behavioural characteristics of a child in a group of peers by children has scientific and applied interest. That constitutes the main purpose of our empirical research of leadership in pre-school groups and the main goal of our paper. The most substantial value-added of this paper is in finding out the symptom of “anti-leadership” as well as in determining personal and behavioural characteristics of pre-school children with dictatorial and anarchic styles of leadership as a cause for such children’s ill-being in a group of peers. Moreover, the results of this paper might contribute to the development of a strategy of rendering psychological and pedagogical assistance to children in developing relationship with their peers.
