The organizational and pedagogical conditions for the development of leadership qualities of students in the process of implementing student self-government are theoretically substantiated in the article. The experience of leading foreign universities regarding the activities of student self-government bodies has been analyzed. The principles that contribute to the effective activity of student self-government bodies in institutions of higher education have been defined: meaningfulness; the social significance of the activities of student self-government bodies; voluntariness and electability of student self-government bodies; initiative, self-activity and creativity of student youth; openness and transparency of the decisions made; coordination; cooperation.The need to use the basic organizational and pedagogical conditions for the development of students' leadership qualities in the process of implementing student self-government has been reasoned. The following organizational and pedagogical conditions for the development of students' leadership qualities have been substantiated: the creation of an educational space that provides favorable conditions for personality development; increasing the managerial competence of heads of student self-government bodies; delegation of management powers to student activists in the organization of social activities; ensuring formation of the knowledge and skills necessary for management activity.
