Abstract
The effectiveness of protection activities heavily depends on managerial work and the leadership skills of a commander. This is of great importance, because managerial failure here also can mean the loss of human lives and property. In the article, the authors examine what requirements and expectations can be formulated for the management of protection organisations. Based on the study of the management practices of specific disasters, the study determines the elements and process of the command activities performed in an incident site. The authors analyse what leadership skills and competencies a leader in a given organisation must possess to succeed in protection work.
Highlights
Human societies have always been based on actions performed in the community. Their effectiveness have been closely related to the person(s) who controlled the activities of a family, a group, an organisation or the society, and in what way leadership was exercised at the community level
Leadership is closely related to profit, so, much related research has been launched since the 1970s, addressing[4] theoretical and practical issues of leadership, including managerial effectiveness
Among the factors influencing the transformation of defence/protection organisations, the aim and purpose of the organisation and the selection of a leader with suitable capabilities play a key role
Summary
Human societies have always been based on actions performed in the community. Already in early times, their effectiveness have been closely related to the person(s) who controlled the activities of a family, a group, an organisation or the society, and in what way leadership was exercised at the community level. Reflections on leaders and leadership have gone a long way to today’s modern science of management, the development of which continues today. It is a scientifically proven fact that managerial work affects organisational goals, the effectiveness of the work performed there, and the organisation itself. The development of economic life, the defence/protection sphere – in connection with which new organisational forms and structures have emerged –, and globalisation and the acceleration of democratic processes have placed new expectations and requirements on managerial and organisational activities, expecting the expansion of knowledge and their scientific basis This need has had such an effect on the development of management and organisational knowledge and activities that it can be felt in all areas of life today. History has lined up hundreds[10] of military scientists who practiced their (military) science, and gathered and further developed the knowledge of the era, and wrote their theorems
