It has been amply proven by theory, research, and practical experience that a manager's effectiveness is a function of several variables. First, success depends upon his technical proficiency in performing the art and science of management, which is based upon an understanding of, and the ability to apply, the body of knowledge called the theory of management. An executive requires a conceptual framework which enhances the knowledge and understanding of human behavior as well as the ability to predict, to influence, and to control organizational activities. Second, successful managerial performance is a function of the individual's managerial philosophy, including his sense of values, the guiding principles that aid him in making decisions, and the other intangibles that distinguish one man's belief system from another's. This system of thinking, which should be compatible with the firm's objectives, provides the manager with the basic assumptions underlying his decisions and actions. The third variable is the general milieu and environment in which the manager operates.
