Abstract

According to contemporary concepts of management the main factor of development seems to be managing, understood as supervising, which is mainly based on making the right decisions. It is possible to achieve success in an organization thanks to great innovative ma-nagers who are precise in defining missions and setting goals, they base their managing style on trust, cooperation with employees, and most of all they possess a very charismatic perso-nality. What is also important here is theoretical knowledge, experience gained throughout years of performance, initiative, competences, ability to improve skills, imagination, being open-minded about rapidly progressing changes and above all high levels of interpersonal competences. Therefore, to be a professional manager one needs to be capable of being a leader. Nowadays the demand for effective management seen through the prism of interpersonal competences that managers possess is on the increase. These proper interpersonal competences are extremely important, however, as it is commonly known, the effectiveness of management does not only depend on competences. Efficient management depends mainly on interpersonal competences that managers possess, therefore this article is devoted to this subject.
