This article addresses the challenge of developing agile leaders within the context of Russian business education. The relevance of this study stems from the mounting demand for managers capable of operating under conditions of heightened uncertainty, coupled with the inadequacy of conventional educational formats in meeting this need. The research aims to construct a comprehensive learning model that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge of agile methodologies and the acquisition of practical behavioral competencies. Through theoretical analysis and a critical review of both domestic and international practices, a three-tier model is substantiated. This model encompasses the transformation of the manager's professional identity, the mastery of facilitation tools through project-based activities, and the cultivation of the leader as an agent of organizational change, all while accounting for the specificities of the Russian context. Key pedagogical principles for implementing the model are formulated: continuous feedback, content adaptability, collaborative participation in the learning process, and systematic reflection. The findings chart a course for modernizing business education by designing an immersive learning environment that replicates the conditions of real managerial practice and enables the internalization of agile values at a personal level.
