In management, responsibility is closely linked to authority. A person might have the authority to take action or make decisions. It also means that responsibility for the consequences of those actions or decisions has been delegated to them by their superior. Therefore, that person must have the authority to act in such a manner as to enable them to fulfil their responsibilities.This book attempts to highlight the importance of combining authority with responsibility in order to achieve the organisational objectives, and will be useful to existing as well as aspiring managers.
