4.1.1.02. Process - Management team leadership
The improvement process must be carried by the entire management team, from senior management to supervisory level. All levels are important but the involvement of the group which directly reports to the senior manager is critical. This is the first level where strategy and policy are being transferred into the Management System for further detailing and implementation at lower levels in the organization.
Purpose of this step is to make sure that the individual leadership, commitment and support is given by all members of the Management team. The "Management team" would include managers directly reporting to the senior executive.
