Kompetencje menedżerskie dowódcy

Basing on interviews with many commanders, it can be stated that one of the basic dilemmas in their work is the feeling of excessive centralisation of commanding processes. New political system conditions, democratisation of the state and economy and educational - training requirements force the necessity of a managerial approach to the commander’s profession. The commander’s managerial competence is expressed in historical or autonomic, effective, economic and responsible command (management) of the whole military (soldiers’) and non-military human resources on all command levels. An immediate expression of the commander’s managerial competence is concrete managerial abilities, in particular of conceptional, administrative, technical, social and decision taking kind. The major values of a commander - manager include, among others, fascination with commanding, decision taking mastery, leadership talents, creative approach to loyalty and discipline, fighting with mess and average, administrative effectiveness, integrity, ability to create a learning team and interpersonal talent. Developing commanders’ managerial competence depends largely on intellectual, interpersonal and organisational atmosphere that the candidates for commanding posts meet in military education. Another important factor is real formal - legal, economic and social conditions that appear in subunits, units and on higher organisational level. Thus the question arises if the climate of commanding really favours managerial commanding procedures preference and wide spreading?
