Abstract

The purpose of this study is to comprehend the stages in the executive’s (manager’s) evolution specifically in terms of the logic of enterprise organization as a structure and the security of the system being shaped. It considers the security aspect of both the manager (and CEO) and the overall organization, since the organization cannot function at a decent level without the leader. The laws of nature, the substitution of a superior for another strong and courageous one, the factors of natural selection, etc. do not apply in business, as this system is constructed and functions according to other principles and is an artificial structure, not a natural one. Yuval Noah Harari (2014), in his book ‘Homo sapiens: A Brief History of Humanity’, points to Peugeot as an example. The author indicates that any company, an enterprise as a relational entity is itself a fiction invented by people (Harari, 2014). An enterprise without people cannot function as a structure, and people without proper organization, which implies a leader, do not organize themselves either. This essay focuses explicitly on the evolution and developmental stages of the demands imposed on managers by both the external environment and the internal organizational dynamics.
