What is Managerialism?

Managerialism is the concentration of power by managers at the expense of other organisational stakeholders. It develops on a weakening of the professional authority of those who carry out the mission of their company or their administration, replaced by the power of the one who thinks he knows and who decides everything accordingly. The managerialists have the mission to set the collective objectives and to decide the means to be used to achieve these objectives. To resist managerialism, therefore, is to restore the authority of one who is able to explain, to justify the why and the how of what he does or proposes to do.
