Abstract:
The executives, who will undertake the leadership of the newly established agencies, must be supplied by the state, with those tools that offer confidence and free decisions under the Constitution and laws. Even wrong decisions, as much as if it seems cynical and scientific. The common point between all management styles which are referred to the international literature, is the fact that the effective manager, whatever system to follow, he will make mistakes. And in many cases, even more mistakes, lead to better solutions for the organization’s and society’s benefit.
