Introduction
Today, in the conditions of the development of management as a science, it is known that the performance of an organization is directly influenced by the quality of leadership, alongside a multitude of other factors. Management can therefore constitute the foundation of high and sustainable organizational performance, provided that a plurality of requirements are met, such as for example: creating the framework for enabling access to senior levels of management elites in the field, aspect coupled with continuous improvement of executive staff; encouraging a participatory climate to the fulfillment of goals; choice of motivational solutions that contribute positively to the organization’s progress and at the same time to stimulate creativity; aspects that will ensure such operation of the organization in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. Therefore, the ability of the leader to combine human resources and informational materials in a rational manner, towards achieving the objectives, is what defines managerial efficiency, while managerial effectiveness is limited to tasks and objectives. Correlative approach to management effectiveness and efficiency characterizes what is called professional management and its practice involves the use of management subsystems that make up the system, also including organizational structure; decision subsystem; Information and communication subsystem and more. Compared to the previous statements, it is further emphasized how management of public institutions relates to such features, compared to management practiced at firm level.
