The fastest secret weapon to success would be to look like you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing because of your own.

Typically, we use authority as a post-decision reference that justifies its enforcement, while here I'm shifting focus to the decision process itself. Still, I think its the most appropriate term to use, triggering at the same time thoughts on the further extent of its applicability. @vitakis I had the very same concern while writing this.

Nevertheless, for quite some time after reading it, I was debating whether ‘authority’ is the right word to use. 'Authority’ has been very much associated with ‘power’, exercised in a multiple of non-negotiable, even forceful, ways that go beyond the notion of ‘because that’s the way it is’. Translating this into a corporate environment, you end up with authority that cannot be challenged or skipped, since it stems from the hierarchical nature of the organization. In the end, I think that ‘authority’ is still the right word to use, since the multitude of meanings and interpretations of the word make this post an even more intriguing read.
