Managers are supervisors, department heads, administrators. They are usually considered the higher echelon. Managers derive power from their positions. They are not comfortable with the status quo of established organizational goals and policies. They enjoy innovating.
Managers are concerned with pre-established, organizational goals.
Their personal and sub-goals arise out of necessity to conform to organizational structure rather than a desire to change. While this may be true in most cases, it is not true in all cases. John Woolman was an American Quaker who is celebrated more for his literary gifts than his leadership activities. Yet this one man, virtually single-handedly eliminated slavery among the Quakers of his time, nearly one hundred years before Abolition. It is a disturbing thought.
