The role of top management is more than making decisions that affect all employees. It's also to set the bar for the way managers treat the staff and relate to each other, which also affect the success of the company. Understanding the affects of their role helps the top management team make changes as necessary to the way they make decisions, the way they interact with other managers and teams, and how they are perceived by the staff. When employees feel their input is valued, they're more likely to do their jobs enthusiastically and improve the achievement of the company.
