1. What are the similarities and differences between Leadership, Management and Command? Leadership, Management and Command are three distinctive and at the same time, interrelated systems of action, which are necessary for success, especially in a complex military environment.

What is culture and how does culture influence leadership? Culture is a very complex phenomenon, and it can be hard to define it, especially when it is often used as a complimentary word in many different contexts, such as “business culture”, “sports culture” or “military culture” and etc..

Another thing of authentic leader is his ability to generate trust and create comfortable, open and efficient work environment. Authenticity and self-awareness can differentiate great leaders from the good ones. For example, Martin Luther King was a good example of the authentic
