These decisions certainly affect him and his operations; he should know them, understand them, indeed participate as much as is humanly possible in their preparation and formulation.
这些决策当然会影响他，他应该知道这些计划，了解这些计划，而且尽可能参与这些计划的筹备和形成过程。
But he cannot make them.
但是他无法制定这些决策。
Hence he cannot have the authority and responsibility for them; for authority and responsibility should always be task-focused.
因此也无法承担这方面的权责，因为职权与责任应该以任务为导向。
This applies all the way up the management hierarchy to the chief executive job itself.
这个原则适用于各级管理层，上至首席执行官本身的工作。
There is one simple rule for setting the limitations on the decisions a manager is authorized to make.
有一条简单的规则确定管理者有权做出的决策的局限性。
