Dylematy kształcenia i doskonalenia oficerów w zakresie kompetencji przywódczych

Abstract

There is a need to educate and improve army officers in leadership. Leadership is a factor that increases the likelihood of efficient action and in difficult moments can decide about the results of action. The right choice of goals and content of leadership education, as well as the selection of teachers who have relevant competences are important when designing studies. When choosing the content of education, one should pay attention to the multitude of dilemmas related to leadership. Several of them, discussed in the article, are particularly relevant. They relate to the list of leadership competences that should be shaped, loyalty to subordinates and superiors, the adequacy of the use of forces to the tasks received, the selection of teachers and the phenomenon of captainism. The teacher plays a special role, especially since the process of shaping leadership is a difficult task, which requires acquiring new knowledge, intentional, thought-out didactic activities, and reflection on mistakes and successes.
