How organization managers interact with non-managerial employees can create an imbalance in the organizational culture. This is especially true when personnel have been promoted to management level yet do not possess the proper skill set and ability to actually manage others. Too often, well-meaning managers consider their position to have full-vested authority to make all decisions, when in fact their scope of authority is limited. Define and discuss the concept of authority and differentiate between staff authority and functional authority. Include a discussion of why authority and responsibility must be equal and how authority and responsibility differ from each other.
Your response must be at least 400 words in length.
