Abstract

For many years now, the growth of the economy was accompanied by the irrational use of natural resources, environmental degradation, climate change, the imbalance of the interaction between nature and man. Modern challenges of environmentally friendly policies in most countries require the preparation of future managers and entrepreneurs of the new format, who will also have green skills that will ensure the leadership of companies in the conditions of economic transformation. This paper discusses heterogeneous approaches to the definition of "green" skills, identifies the main contradictions in their interpretation. The main emphasis is placed on the need to identify key elements that largely reflect the specifics of training managers and entrepreneurs as eco-oriented leaders. The presented studies of students (who are also the future managers) demonstrate a high potential and interest in the development of "green" skills, but also reveal the problem of the need to change the paradigm of education. According to our results, we propose forming a training system taking into account the five main distinguished elements: i) ecological consciousness, ii) ecological culture, iii) social values, iv) innovative thinking, and v) leadership.
