ResumoPurpose and Method of ResearchThe primary objective of the study was to gain knowledge about leadership from leaders who have achieved considerable success in Poland. initial stage of the research consisted in selecting a diverse group of respondents who were willing to give a long (45-60 minutes) interview. Particular emphasis was put on experience in leadership, and therefore I decided not to avoid approaching those who no longer are, but used to be leaders at some point in their lives. I contacted twenty-nine individuals who together form a highly diversified group. majority are rather mature, and for this reason I also decided to include a younger person in the study: a female student from the Kozminski University.Many of my respondents have performed several functions simultaneously, e.g. of a lecturer or professor and a politician.
