People not fit for management jobs

People not fit for management jobs:
The best practices will fail to build the right spirit unless management bears witness for its own professed beliefs every time it appoints a man to a management job.
Character is not something a man can acquire; if he does not bring it to the job, he will never be able to do it. It is not something one can fool people.The men with whom a man works and especially his subordinates know in a few weeks whether he has integrity or not. They may forgive a man a great deal: incompetence, ignorance, insecurity or bad manners. But they will not forgive him lack of integrity. Nor will they forgive higher management for choosing him about.
Integrity may be difficult to define, but what constitutes lack of integrity of such seriousness as to disqualify a man for managerial position
A man should not be appointed if he is more interested in the question: Who is right? Than in the question: What is right?
Management should not appoint a man who considers intelligence more important than integrity. For this is immaturity.
In addition a manager with high integrity is also responsible to keep a watch on his subordinates if the matters involve financial transactions with outside agencies and pre-empt any losses that his organization is likely to incur. Keeping a blind eye in total good faith is also not desirable from a competent manager.
