Preparing commanders in a military organisation in the context of threats and needs

Challenges caused by the destabilisation of the global security system and crises of both military and non-military nature in the modern world are forcing an innovative approach to personnel management in uniformed services responsible for internal security (i.e. public order and rescue services) as well as external security (military). Team leaders in these services should have specific qualifications and competencies in relation not only to the tasks they perform, but also to expectations and attitudes of the rest of society. The changes taking place in individual social groups, the professional mobility of society, the mixing of cultures and traditions mean that academic solutions for training and preparing officers and commanders to lead teams in such services should be thoroughly modified and supplemented with new solutions stemming from social needs and expectations.
