The article reveals one of the important abilities of the leader, which is manifested in the resistance to manipulative influences, which is often a destructive factor in the deterioration of the moral and psychological climate of the team. The problem of leadership is understood through the prism of the competence approach in the coordinate system of trait theory, servant-leadership, situational, behavioral, motivational and value theories. An analogy is made between a leader as a high-status individual in a group and a teacher in a university educational environment. The essence of the concept of "manipulation in official relations" is revealed as a cross transaction of type 3 (E.Bern) and on the basis of moral and ethical criteria the differences between manipulative influence and constructive hidden influence, in which the object of influence is the beneficiary, as well as the initiator of the influence, are distinguished , which is symptomatic of the pedagogical interaction between a mentor and a student. Attention is drawn to a special type of manipulative influences in service relations, which are implemented in the "leader-follower", "leader-subordinate" model and stem from the phenomenon of "obedience to authority" (S. Milgram) and the phenomenon of destructive leadership (S. Einarson). The phenomenon of "obedience to authority" is also based on the constructive hidden influence of parity interaction in the paradigm of humanistic pedagogy, which involves the achievement of a socially significant, moral goal of preparing an individual for life and work (N. Hegen). It is emphasized that the leadership competence of resisting manipulation includes not only the ability to recognize the destructive influence of the aggressor, but also to classify it according to the scenario line (N. Nepriakhin) and to choose adequate countermeasures (V. Sheinov, B. Ratnikov, S. Kara-Murza). Not only specific ways of resisting manipulative influences, depending on their type, are highlighted, but also universal methods of exposure and protection against manipulation through active, passive and counter-manipulative countermeasures are offered.
