The contribution of management theory to military leadership at strategic level
Journal Title: Security and Defence Quarterly - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Successful leaders at the strategic, operational and tactical level have always applied the process functions of management. The destiny if this theory is similar to the destiny of theories of strategy and leadership. Nowadays, none of them are exclusively military theories. The very fact that they have been applied in different fields of human society has contributed to both their theoretical and practical improvement. It is impossible, at the current time, even to think about the managing of a defence system of a country or alliance without the synchronised and unique engagement of civilian and military structures. If they want to keep pace with political, economic, military and other trends, they have to follow the latest achievements in the field of strategy, leadership and management. They must also be familiar with certain problems, the have to completely understand them and their way of acting must be in accordance with that knowledge. This will provide them with a new and precious experience. That is why the main objective of this paper is to emphasise that the iterative character of management gives strong support to the aforementioned principle.
