[ Approval ]

In most managerial roles, there is a point in time when you will need to approve something.  This might be approval of a budget expenditure, approval to retrench a portion of your workforce, or better yet, approval to hire new resources to help with the workload.

The other kind of approval falls more often to technical or engineering roles, and that is the approval of a document,  design basis, report, or specification.

Approval of knowledge-based documents should not be taken lightly.  There is responsibility inherent in that approval.  It confirms that you are consciously taking responsibility for the document content.
