16 October Legitimate Power in Society (...decisive...)

[Paul Terlemezian]

While matrix management and management by influence is common in many organizations it is not common at the lowest level within an organization - the level where work gets done and where training is used as a device to impact performance.

 

What must occur for the "power of training" to be seen as legitimate at this level?

 

Where is training's "legitimacy" in relation to the first level manager's "legitimacy?"

 

What will the result be if there is a difference in the views of training from the views of the line of management that oversees the individual learner's performance?

[Paul Terlemezian]

What does it mean to be "legitimate?

Is there universal agreement on being legitimate? Might it be situational or conditional?

What assure the legitimate functioning of a for profit entity?

What assures the legitimate functioning a non profit entity?

How might we sustain and increase legitimacy via collaboration?
