Answer:

The correct answer is Omnipotent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dominant view in management theory and society in general is that managers are directly responsible for the success or failure of an organization. We will call this perspective the omnipotent vision of the administration.

In the omnipotent vision, excellent managers will anticipate change, and will know how to take advantage of opportunities, correct poor performance and direct their organizations very well. When profits increase, managers get recognition and rewards in the form of bonuses, stocks, and so on. When profits go down, high-level managers are often fired for the belief that "new blood" will bring better results. This of course is not always the best. The vision of managers as omnipotent characters is consistent with the stereotyped image of an executive in charge of a business that overcomes any obstacle.
