Abstract [eng] Effective leadership has drawn attention of management scholars for almost 100 years. There is a long list of theoretical concepts that describe and explain relevant characteristics and properties of leadership. The fact, that leadership behavior is highly culturally contingent, is accepted by most scholars. One of research projects directly dealing with the relationship between the local culture and the leadership phenomenon is the GLOBE research program. Although in the meantime the GLOBE project involves 62 countries worldwide results from Lithuania are still missing. In this paper, we present the first findings from Lithuania, received using the methodology of the GLOBE project in the sample of 300 students from one university of Lithuania. Here we especially focus on the question what Lithuanian respondents expect from leadership and what conceptions of ideal leaders are. Referring to previous studies addressing leadership perceptions in Lithuania, we discuss the findings of this quantitative study.
