A World Class Manager

Paper Summary:

The paper looks at the two distinct dimensions of a world class manager's competence; the granted competence, also referred to as official authority and the so-called competence, also referred to as personal authority. The paper then explores the skills, abilities and characteristics necessary for a world class manager. The paper concludes that in the current turbulent environment where organizations develop their activity, managers themselves become even more important than the management methods and techniques they use.

From the Paper:

"Any organization's well-functioning or failure depends entirely on the managers that run it. Managers have the power to directly influence their organizations' both internal and global affairs through the actions, decisions, and directions they take. World class managers are determined by their skills, by the effective management they promote "in an ever-changing global environment" (Rundle, 2007). "
