Abstract

Acquiring sovereignty is the top priority for socio-economic development in the new geopolitical reality characterized by the shift from a unipolar to a polycentric world. This is necessary to accomplish the Russian Federation's national goals. Furthermore, if the Russian Federation's military-political sovereignty is undeniable,then some issues,primarilyin education,must be resolved to consistentlyguarantee various forms of sovereignty, including technological, financial, trade, economic, informational, cultural, and personnel sovereignty. Among them, the formation of a new managerial elite possessing clusters of professional competencies with the following characteristics deserves special attention: ethics and values - «from the contemporary cult of consumption to achieving sustainable development goals and guaranteeing security»; interdisciplinary knowledge and strategic thinking - from an emphasis on maximizing short-term benefits to long-term priorities; communication - from excessive administration and authoritarian management to comprehending the growing demands of a contemporarymanager,the growth of digital competencies,and a corporate culture; effective management skills - minimizing professional risks, reducing the fear of making decisions, taking responsibilityfor inaction,and fostering trust between the government,private sector,and civil society; efficient resource management ,including resource conservation and waste reduction.
