The article reveals the problems of managerial and business important qualities of the local councilors of Ukraine. It examines their nature and necessity to be developed under the requirement of the council and the councilor’s activity. The activity approach (the content of the councilor’s activity) used in the article allowed us to examine the councilors’ activity as one of the types of public activity, as formally non-professional activity (because there are no professional standards, competency profiles, and ethical standards for it). The efficiency of local self-government is associated with the procedural nature of the councilor’s activity, with the constant focus on improving this activity, with out-of-professional development of the local councilors. The article describes the concept of “managerial development of councilors”, identifies the factors of effectiveness in managing local councils of Ukraine, reveals the stages of managerial development of the local council, and the ties between managerial and business abilities development and relevant competencies in a councilor’s activity. The barriers to the effective performance of local self-government bodies are analyzed, and the negative impact of the national policy, economic environment, legal support on the activity of the councilors corps are studied. A description of necessary business qualities for mastering councilors’ activity is provided. The essential role of the personality of a councilor under the requirement of his/her professional environment, conditions created by a society, the influence of socio-political institutions, etc. is disclosed.
