Abstract

A study on military leadership in situations of asymmetric conflict must necessarily ask the question of exactly what leadership is.

By analysing "the problematic space of leadership", this study shows that military leadership is changing, and the relational aspect takes on ever greater importance, along with the ability to act concerning emotions.
