This paper looks at the actions of a leader in a subject–oriented approach to people, expressed in the form of care in implementing their interests. Verification of such concern in Poland’s economic reality was conducted by way of a questionnaire–based study on companies subject to varied operating conditions. Study results served as the basis for developing an “interest map” that takes into account such defined characteristics in company operations as its financial situation, capital origins, employment level, period of operations, etc. Both the purposefulness and possibility of using such maps in the process of monitoring employee interests has been demonstrated, as have the premises for their application by leaders.
