Military History, Selection, Competencies

Abstract

The aim of the study is to provide a general overview of the historical development of leadership competences, to draw conclusions and then to review the system of selection. It is my firm conviction that the latter will play an important role in the future, because we are not all equally suited to all tasks. Military career is a lifelong vocation, therefore selection is not just occasional, it defines the life of a person in the long run.
