Managerialism is the concentration of power in the hands of managers, at the expense of other stakeholders within an organization. It thrives on a weakening of the professional authority of those who carry out the mission of their company or administration, which is replaced by the power of those who believe they know best and decide everything accordingly. Managers are tasked with setting collective objectives and deciding on the means to achieve them. Resisting managerialism, therefore, means restoring the authority of those who can explain and justify the why and how of what they do or propose to do.
