AUTHORITY, POWER, RESPONSIBILITY, IN MANAGEMENT

There are several ways to develop authority, including: 1) Increasing the quality of faith and devotion to God Almighty; 2) Understand yourself and the responsibilities you have to bear; 3) Understand the environment in which you find yourself; 3) Develop personal competence adequately; 4) Personal competence or ability includes physical, social, intellectual, spiritual, mental, personal competence, and so on; and 5) Effective self-presentation based on the elements above.
