Summary of modern investigations devoted to development of management abilities in made. Peculiarities of management abilities is motor-transportation branch are shown. The study devoted to personal traits of motor transportation leaders that can be a factor of their better quality and higher effectiveness at work is done and its results are presented. It was proved that several personal traits give the basis of a better quality at work of motor transportation leaders: activity, communicativeness, persistence, stress tolerance, purposefulness, and absence of the role conflict at work. These traits and qualities can be taken as a basis when we decide to develop management abilities of motor transportation leaders. At the particular motor transportation company in Irkutsk (Siberia region) where the investigation was done the majority of leaders have these traits and qualities at much lower level than it is required. As a result, the developing program for them was proposed. This program included the description of conditions on which the developing work can be done effectively and the content of the developing work itself. The proposed and tested program consists of four blocks including developing, modelling and correcting psychological technologies that taken in common had shown a significant shift of management abilities of motor transportation leaders.
