The main purpose of this paper is to present the diagnosis of efficiency of leaders in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in the Leszno subregion in Poland. The secondary objective is to compare results obtained in the Project GLOBE with the results received in this re-search to find the most efficient leadership practices. The survey was conducted on the basis of 360 degrees method (Lepsinger, Lucia, 1997) with the use of the effective leadership competency model (Goldsmith, Greenberg, Robertson, Hu-Chan, 2003). Leaders represent fairy high levels of both autonomous and self-protective leadership. The average level of efficiency of leadership competencies is very low. The highest level of employees' satisfaction (23.95%) concerns the leading change competency whereas only 9.56% of respondents are satisfied with the efficiency of encouraging constructive dialogue competency.
