What are the six powers of managers?

Managers don't have six powers, only three.

Managers have three powers:

Traditional power: derived from traditional customs or heredity, such as the hereditary system of the emperor.

Extraordinary power: it comes from worshipping and following others, and it is emotional and irrational, not based on rules and regulations, but on prestige established in the past.

Statutory power: Statutory power refers to the power stipulated by law, which is possessed through legal procedures, such as directly electing the president.

The manager is a person with certain responsibilities. Managers of any organization or group have certain positions, they should use and exercise corresponding powers, and at the same time bear certain responsibilities. Power and responsibility are a contradictory unity, and some power is always associated with some responsibility.

When the organization endows managers with certain positions and positions, thus forming certain powers, correspondingly, managers also assume the responsibility for the organization.

In the managers at all levels of an organization, responsibilities and powers must be symmetrical and clear. Without responsibility, power will inevitably lead to the improper use of power by managers, while without power, responsibility will be vague and difficult to bear. People with power but no responsibility or responsibility but no power can hardly play their due role in their work and become real managers.

Responsibility is the basic requirement for managers. After being empowered, managers should bear corresponding responsibilities for the fate of the organization or group and corresponding obligations to the members of the organization or group.

Power and responsibility should rise and fall simultaneously. The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility. Comparatively speaking, responsibility is more essential than power, power is only a means to fulfill responsibility, and responsibility is the real symbol of managers.

If a manager only has authority and no corresponding responsibility, then he can't manage well. The manager is different because he is a responsible person. If managers fail to fulfill their responsibilities, it means dereliction of duty and abandonment of management.
