Abstract: The article studies the possibilities of indirect diagnostics of professionally oriented personal meanings that are usually realized in a career. Leaders and executives who participated in the study were to write about their biggest professional achievement (success) and their biggest professional failure. Qualitative analysis of those texts allowed to define the differences between the two groups of respondents. Using subjective and objective criteria for self-evaluation of their own work, ‘leaders’ demonstrated their orientation towards ‘activity’ (their performance, sufficient/ insufficient skills) while ‘executives’ more often showed orientation towards support/correction of their professional self-conception.

Keywords: psychology, career, personal meanings, criteria for self-evaluation, professional success, professional failure, leaders, executives, qualitative methods, textual methods.
