The Legitimacy of Management

The goal of an organization and its managers is to make the work of the staff productive. The task of management is to ensure that the organization serves both society and the economy at large, as well as groups of people and individuals. To achieve this, managers must be aware of their responsibilities. The primary responsibility of a manager is to effectively manage the organization to meet targeted economic outcomes. However, this involves additional challenges such as creating conditions for productive labor and improving employee performance, as well as ensuring the quality of life for society and individuals. Moreover, the leadership group must possess legitimacy, meaning it should be accepted by the community as "lawful." The authority of leaders should be based on moral obligations that reflect the company's purpose and nature. There is only one such moral principle: the goal of the organization and its managers is to make the work of the staff productive. An organization is a means through which a person, as an individual and a community member, realizes themselves and contributes to the overall result. Tip of the Day: In your leadership role, identify and leverage the strengths of the people you are responsible for.
