Commensurately, within policy guidelines and legal constraints, a unit head has the authority to coordinate and direct assigned personnel and other allocated resources in achieving organizational objectives. In so doing, a unit head must perform the full range of administrative functions, relying upon policy, direction, training, and personal initiative to guide and command in achieving the highest level of performance possible.
