Abstract: Abstract The leader is a key figure whose aspects of activity are studied from various standpoints: the social one, also covering the legal aspect, the economic one, the cultural one, and others. The versatility of the company leader’s status studying points at the relation and mutual influence of each of the aspects. This research analyzes the legal aspect of the company leader’s status that has a tremendous influence first of all on the company’ economic activity. The objective of the research is to give ground for a clear system of leadership in organizations from the legal standpoints. Both Russian and international laws and regulations and special literature have been analyzed, which has allowed making certain conclusions about the organization leadership problems existing and ways for solving them. First, this is recognizing the fact of two leaders available in an organization who have different rights and opposite interests: the head of the organization and the head of the primary trade-union organization. However, the organization has to have only one leader, both actually and under the law – its manager. Second, the minor quantity of trade-union leaders gives evidence about a low level of trust for them, poorly developed legislation about liability for violation of rights, and a certain extent of intervention from the state. Third, in order to implement the principle of independence for trade unions and their leaders, the system of organization and activity of the trade unions has to be changed, with the primary trade union to be brought beyond one organization and transformed into a branch or professional trade union at the municipality level. This will have a positive influence on economic activity of the organization, the head of which will exercise his coercive powers of a leader in reality.
