Abstract:

Today brings many changes and challenges, but also new information and opportunities. The global political situation, and therefore the military situation, appears to be highly turbulent. The effects of this situation will require greater sensitivity and flexibility in the decision-making processes and Leadership of organizations, states, and especially the armed forces. Coping with difficult situations, the ability to anticipate them, evaluate them and then choose an adequate response has always been considered an art. The ability to understand the situations that arise and to act strategically allows us to maintain stability and resilience, which are among the key competencies of leaders. Good leaders in history, able to live in harmony with the realities of the world, were aware of who they are, what they do, what their goals are, and what the impacts of their actions are. A new perspective and possibility is „Vigilant“ Leadership, as a method enabling a high degree of self-awareness of leaders and their potential for self-development and management.
