Leadership

The demands on military personnel during international missions are subject to major change. There is a need for proactive and decisive soldiers from all armies who are willing to take on responsibility. This requires  change in both the education and training as well as in the handling of directives and restricting rule systems. Comparisons with leadership needs in the economy are desirable.

Companies are established, grow and prosper and also go bankrupt during the course of a lifetime. However, how can it be possible that a company selling the same products in the same market manufactured by the same employees shortly after coming very close to bankruptcy subsequently turns into a flagship company? Is it possibly that only very subtle differences combined with the attitude of those involved are the factors which make a difference? Firm goals and brilliant leadership are the keys to successful business reengineering. Leadership is much more than mere management. An example taken from the machine-building industry emphasizes the significance of leadership for success.
