Conclusions. Recent studies of the leadership in project management have revealed the importance of such qualities for a leader as trust, enthusiasm, competence, the ability to take risks and take responsibility for decisions, as well as ethical behavior with subordinates. Mutual understanding, a culture of relationships and a creative atmosphere were recognized as factors that motivate the team to success. It was determined that in the sector of creative industries attention to the individuality of each of the team members should be much higher than in other areas, and that this is specific to this area. In this regard, leaders working in the creative industries sector are often faced with uncertain situations and therefore need to be creative and visionary. The problem of finding a balance between creativity and its boundaries remains the most debatable problem of management in the sphere of creative industries. Creative workers do not like organizational and structural orderliness, they are undisciplined by definition. Therefore, leadership in creative industries means the ability to build a high-quality organizational structure of the team, while not preventing subordinates from expressing their creativity to the fullest extent.
