The purpose of this article is improving leadership technology in the context of society informatization. Theoretical and methodological basis of the study includes an abstract-logical method, methods of induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis, and systematization, used to substantiate the socio-economic aspects of leadership, as well as graphics methods to study the leadership development level and trends in the context of society informatization. Studies indicate that there are significant differences in the satisfaction level between staff members and managing business leaders holding executive position, i.e. in cases, where the roles of business leader and executive were performed by a single person, as well as staff members with subordinating business leaders, i.e. in cases, where the roles of business leader and executive were performed by different persons. While for staff member teams with business leaders holding executive positions, the average satisfaction score is 3.929, i.e. is very close to satisfactory, for teams with subordinating business leaders, the average satisfaction score is equal to 2.807, i.e. remains within the nonsatisfactory gradation. Additional facts in favor of the proposed hypothesis consist in a fact that in the teams, where executives lead in the business sector not only on the aspects of business leadership in general, having the highest total score, but also for each of aspects individually, the satisfaction indicators are the highest in the sample, equal to four or more points. At the same time, the least satisfaction was noted in the teams, where executives had a relatively low business status. The study has revealed that leadership in the future can be a stimulus for communication, activity, and formation of certain interpersonal relations in the context of society informatization

Purpose of the study: The paper is devoted to the formation of approaches to international cooperation in the field of higher education. Main Findings: It has been established that in the future, there is a need for broad initiatives from all countries for the qualitative improvement of higher education. It has been determined that the most important basis for the future prosperity of the world economy and society is a strong and diverse training of young people. Applications of this study: From the point of view of further development of new educational information means, the importance of non-formal education integrated into the educational process will grow. The originality of this study: It has been proved that self-education will play an increasing role. In the field of higher education, the cooperation between different partners and a wide range of different educational opportunities will be developed in order to give everyone the opportunity to improve their knowledge, both in the personal and professional sphere.

The article is an attempt to offer a theoretical understanding of the notion of a "Linguistic world-image" (LWI) within symbolic contexts as represented in the current literature, define the symbol's features, its influence on LWI in historic perspective, and investigate its functioning within idioms or metaphors. We have undertaken the review of previous LWI investigations and, as the methodological basis of our research, we have used ethno-semantic and linguisticphilosophical approaches to language; specifically, the method of multiple etymology, introduced by V. N. Toporov and developed by M.M. Makovsky, which permitted us to identify the correlation of LWI with linguistic signs as a carrier of symbolic meaning. It should be noted that studying symbolic language properties and linguistic signs within the linguistic world-image, which were not taken into account before, is conductive to a more profound comprehension of the correlation between language, culture, and mutual understanding index in the intercultural communication process. The LWI concept is considered as a subjectiveobjective dynamic multilevel construct, which presents its primary features through a lexicalsemantic language system within a world and national culture formed as a result of the reflection of sensorial perception, facts, understanding and estimation of the objective phenomena in national linguistic consciousness, in the experience of correlation of language concepts, images and symbols throughout the cultural historical development of the language. Therefore, two approaches to studying LWI are evident -cognitive and cultural-philosophical -which are not so much conflicting as mutually reinforcing.Keywords: symbolic language properties, linguistic sign, linguistic world-image, linguistic thinking, linguistic consciousness, inner formThe study of symbolic language properties and linguistic signs within LWI is of utmost importance in the active interaction of cultures and peoples. It leads to a more profound comprehension of the correlation between language, culture, and the level of understanding during the intercultural communication process. For this reason, a theoretical understanding of the linguistic world-image concept in symbolic contexts is pressing and necessary. The review of previous LWI research has revealed that it was mostly reduced to the analysis of metaphor combinations of words having abstract semantics, which singled out perceptible sensory images (Arutyunova, 1976;Apresyan, 1995; Teliya, 1996; Lakoff & Johnson, 1987; Vezhbitskaya, 1996; Zaliznyak, 2005; Kornilov, 2002;Radchenko, 2002). It did not take into account the symbolic aspect of LWI, which may open up new avenues of research. Any national language is known to reflect not only scientific knowledge about the world but also includes things that do not correlate with objective reality, such as metaphors, idioms, and mythical images. This leads us to conclude that symbols and mythological images function in idioms and metaphors because the early culture fixed i...
