The article notes that our entire life is connected with a certain choice of conditions of existence in society, the solution of large and small problems of a personal and social nature that require making certain decisions. This may be a place of residence, education and choice of profession, family and raising children, sports and recreation, friendship and enmity, etc. All this requires making a decision that will have both positive and negative consequences, may be personal or of a social nature. It is argued that the peculiarity and privilege of managers is the ability to make decisions and thus personally organize the work of employees to implement these decisions. The fate of social institutions and social organizations depends on the quality of the management decisions made. The article notes that in the conditions of the war, which has been going on in Ukraine for the fourth year, the responsibility of managers for the decisions made increases many times. War and peace, patriotism and hatred of the enemy, whether to remain under enemy fire in one’s own home or to go away from the war, even abroad. The choice between these alternatives is an actual choice between life and death. The article also emphasizes that an important factor is the assessment of the personal competencies of those subjects of management activity who directly exercise this management influence. Social practice has led to the emergence of people who have the right and the opportunity to manage other people, to decide the fate of other people, classes and ethnic groups, even entire countries and peoples. This is a large social group of managers. Sometimes the term "management" is used for them. In the current extremely complex conditions caused by the war, careful attention to the competence and effectiveness of each management decision is extremely important, not only at the state level, but also at the level of each individual territorial community.
