Abstract
- To analyse the exercise of the leadership function, from team level to strategic level, a direct influence is noticed on its members, as well as an indirect effect on behaviours and performances derived from the internal and external environment of the organisation. On this perspective, leaders affect all functioning aspects of an organisation. To identify the behaviours associated to leadership that lead to superior performances at the different hierarchic levels through the individuals that have "command" functions, a profile of behaviours may be found which may serve as a structural pillar to serve as reference for the standards required in the Portuguese Army. Leadership for the Officers of the Portuguese Army is characterized by guidance for the missions, ethics, example, decision making, planning, vision, cohesion, team work, conflict management and participative leadership and commitment, in order to achieve superior performances. Decision making and assertive communication are the competences that require highest levels of proficiency for higher organizational levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
