Abstract

This article analyzes the fragility of the balance between the personal values
of the members of the military organization and the institutional values promoted
by the aforementioned organization. Starting from the premise that the operational
efficiency and the cohesion of the unit depend largely on the harmony between these
two value systems, the paper explores, starting from the clarification of the concepts
of personal and organizational values, the risks that may be associated with the
conflict between these two categories of values, as well as some strategies through
which military leaders can prevent and manage the discrepancies that arise. The
issue of the challenges faced by military leaders in managing conflicts between the
two sets of values, as well as their impact on organizational performance, is also
addressed. The paper is based on studies and sources published after 2015, relevant,
one could say, for the current realities associated with military leadership.

Key words:

personal values, organizational values, leadership, conflict, balance
of values.
