This article presents information regarding the selection of higher-grades managerial staff. The criteria for the selection of higher-grades managerial staff include family and friendship relations, dynamism, competence, docility. Today, managers must possess not only an economic and technical background, compared with which their predecessors had little in common, but they must also be capable of reasoning comprehensively and understanding all the various functions of a business enterprise. In short, higher-grades managerial staffs of modern enterprises must be able to make syntheses if they want to be able to ascertain the causes of the evolution of their enterprises in time and to correct the mistakes or adapt them to circumstances or environment. As a consequence of the evolution of science and technology, it is necessary for the men who guide the destiny of an enterprise, or for those who are closely associated with it, to follow this prodigious evolution or be surpassed and find themselves strangers in an unknown world.
