The present work is devoted to the study of the features of the modern political leader as a new kind of social subject, his global mission. In the course of studying the above-mentioned problems, specific sociological, comparative, formal-logical, historical and other particular and general scientific methods are used. In the course of the study of the problem, a conclusion is made about the emergence of a new social subject - the socio-political leader (in which the political leader is being transformed), characterized by inseparable communication with the society (in the process of development, formation and implementation), as well as a high level of social realization as the basis for becoming leader. The socio-political leader is seen as a prototype of the social subject of the 21st century.
