Summary/Abstract: The current and future challenges to national and international security put a considerable pressure on the need for change. More than ever and more than in many other areas of military activity, the decision-making process at the top of the armed forces and of the defence intelligence structures requires relevant reviewing procedures, based on appropriate advanced studies on modern leadership and the right mix of it with more traditional managerial methods. The current article envisages this complex process by pinpointing a few elements of leadership history and evolution, by trying to link it with emotional intelligence, by proposing a definition promoted by Professor Kristan J. Wheaton from the Mercyhurst College Institute for Intelligence Studies, Boston, Massachusetts as a base for future debates and by advancing a few hypothetical examples of the leadership-management relationships.
