Explain the ICSA guidance on decisions that the board should reserve for itself and not delegate to individual or executive managers.
Question
The Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development is concerned that her recent presentation about matrix management structure and performance management should be sent to the board for approval. Prof. Ernest Kofi Mensah vehemently disagrees. He referred her to the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) guidance.
Required:
Identify and explain FOUR (4) of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) guidance on decision-making responsibilities that the board should reserve to itself and should not be delegated to individual or executive managers to confirm and comment on the view that the Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development’s matrix structure presented is not one of the issues which require board approval before implementation.
