Leadership and Professionalization from the View of Officers in the Research Retrospection of the Years 2004-2008Reviewed - Research

Presented analysis of interviews with officers at various level of command from 2004 - 2008 is aimed on their view of the process of command. On the basis of qualitative research we consider the recent way of command of the Czech officers intuitive and individual. It characterizes most common way to command, based just on experience. We consider differentiation in the way of leading and motivation of subordinates among types of forces and military specializations. The reflection of the professionalization, the training system, the perception of learned/natural ability to command and their career is offered to discussion in the context of changes in direction of education of Czech officers and commanders.

Keywords: Military Leadership, Military Education System, Commander Characteristics, Way of Command, Qualitative Research.
