ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines the foundation for requisite organization of the Managerial Accountability Hierarchy (MAH) by describing those characteristics of human beings at work that any MAH must satisfy in order to be requisite. These characteristics are described in terms of: key human and social values necessary for commitment, the nature of individual potential capability–present and future, and skilled knowledge necessary for applying one's potential capability. MAHs are set up to employ people to get work done–design and procurement work; production and sales work; high-level finance and bookkeeping work; maintenance work; indeed, all the two thousand or so kinds of work to be found in any handbook of occupations. The chapter explains that one already have strong quality and service-based values that can provide a solid foundation to ensure good relations with customers, clients, investors, suppliers and other service-providers, the local community, government, and the public at large.
