Organizational authority beyond that necessary

should not be delegated. Authority should never
be delegated beyond the lowest level of
competence and may be limited by command.
ACCOUNTABILITY
“The leader must be accountable ‘period’! I think that
accountability is something that we’ve gotten away from in
the last few years. We tend not to make decisions on our
own, we do it by committee, and when we do it by committee,
then no one person is accountable. The leader must be
accountable for actions and decisions made, regardless of
their outcome, and meet personal commitments promptly and
fully. I couldn’t stress this more.”
