Communication represents a process of interaction between people, groups, as a relation mediated through word, image, gesture, symbol or sign. Through it, individuals share their knowledge, experiences, interests, attitudes, feelings, opinions, ideas. Viewed as a process, communication consists in transmission and exchange of information (messages) between individuals. Communication means to tell those around you who you are, what you want, why you want a certain thing, and what are the means you will use to achieve your goals. Communication is defined as “a process through which a transmitter sends information to the receiver through a channel, in order to produce certain effects on the receiver.” In the present paper we analyze the most important types of communication: intrapersonal communication, interpersonal communication, small group communication, public communication / in organizations and mass communication. The success of communication in organizations depends on its manager, who must be a true manager of his organization's communication system, and this requires a continuous effort on his part in accumulating knowledge and training skills in organizational and interpersonal communication

Improving school leadership is now high on the list of priorities for school reform. Principals are considered key actors responsible for the successful management of all administrative functions of schools. They bear a great responsibility for maintaining the effective internal functioning of school systems, representing the schools in the community, and implementing educational policies. Principals also act as role models who promote the ethical and professional growth of teachers and other professional staff. Ultimately, school leaders have an indirect but significant impact on student learning and achievement. The purpose of this exploratory study was to determine the social representation of competencies needed for an effective school principal to manage the administrative and instructional process. The participants were 119 female teachers who teach at the elementary level. A standardized task based on the free association method was used to collect data. Participants’ responses were analyzed lexically and semantically to differentiate associations from a qualitative perspective. The structural approach based on the analysis of prototypical categories was also used. The qualitative and quantitative analyzes revealed three facets of teachers’ representation of the competencies of a successful school leader. These dimensions included: a) the mission and basic competencies of a school leader; b) managing interpersonal relationships; c) skills, attitudes, and motivation for managerial career.

Cybersecurity is one of the new dimensions of security, the one responsible for ensuring a secure online space, a space which can be used safely in all areas of people’s lives - from finance to social media, education, economy, politics, information, debate and even military. Because over 50% of the population is connected in 2020 to the internet, both for work and personal purposes, as numerous transactions are being registered in the cyberspace every second, government and private sector alike need to work together to secure this space to develop early-warning systems and protect the IT infrastructure of any kind of attacks. There are tools for measuring and monitoring cyber-attacks, which need to be explored and constantly improved. But this is not enough as the use of these tools needs to be completed by the joint efforts in raising the users’ awareness in protecting against any attacks. Additionally, exploring and taking advantage of the benefits a digital economy and society can offer should be supported by investments in education and training while maintaining an updated and secure infrastructure.

The paper discusses the importance of training for the success of Romania’s contribution to the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) of the European Union. At the time when the EU Member States are taking concrete measures to implement the European Compact for a Civilian CSDP (2018) and the second annual progress report is planned, Romania is still struggling with the inter-institutional negotiation of the would-to-be National Strategy for the Implementation of the Civilian CSDP Compact, not yet approved by the Government. However, training is not seen as a strong point in the future strategic document, probably because there is not real coordination in the field. Despite the increased interest in CSDP related training (the number of the Romanian members of the European Security and Defence College multiplied five times in just two years), the training institutes are not working in a coordinated way and most of their CSDP training seems mostly related to individual projects or targets and not following a national policy, nor national objectives related to the Civilian Compact implementation. The debate opened by this paper aims to increase the awareness at the national authorities’ level and to suggest the way ahead in liking training to the Romanian policy on CSDP.

We argue that the principles and practices specific to the performance management can be used as levers in the education system and in the professional training of military personnel, especially in the higher military education system. We will focus particularly on the most important aspects of performance management: planning and goal setting, monitoring, evaluation and feedback. Beyond the conceptual aspects, we will discuss the implications that these practices have on the teaching-learning process and we will highlight their value in the military academia by elaborating on how they can be applied in three problematic situations. Thus, this article provides teachers and instructors in the military education system with learning-oriented methods that will create a productive classroom environment and highlights the opportunities that students have and the benefits at the institutional level.

The report analyzes the characteristic features of the combat space for conducting unconventional warfare (Irregular Warfare-IW), taking into account the changes and peculiarities in the specifics and characteristics of combat actions at the current stage of the development of armed conflicts in different regions. By using the forms and approaches of intelligence anal-sis and taking into ac-count the requirements of the four successive stages of the intelligence cycle, the methods and ap-proaches are formulated for using the potential of the types of technical intelligence and of intelli-gence using the human factor in the interest of obtaining and interpreting information correspond-ing in volume and direction in the interest of the objectives and tasks of unconventional warfare (IW). The systematization of the obtained analytical assessments ensures the determination of the role and effects of conducting information and psychological operations with the use of modern information technologies in the preparation and implementation of unconventional combat actions (IW). The requirements for the specialized training of the analyst teams, performing analysis and evaluation of the obtained specific information regarding the characteristics of the unconventional battlefield and preparing the final intelligence product, have been determined in order of im-portance.
