Summary/Abstract: A characteristic feature of the environment in which contemporary organizations operate is its variability. To survive in such an environment, organizations need leaders who can set themselves and their subordinates specific goals and influence their achievement. Many positive examples of leadership can be transferred to the civilian environment thanks to the models developed in the armed forces. One of the tools for shaping leadership attitudes in the Polish Armed Forces is the author’s program for training non-commissioned officers called “Leader” in operation since 2008. The knowledge passed on during this program, which is conducted in the form of a course (considered to be one of the most difficult ones in the Armed Forces), is related to building leadership skills. It can be successfully transferred to the civilian environment, wherever there are relationships between superiors and subordinates.
