The term 'executive' is a qualifying adjective that is used to designate certain types of actions, decisions or groups within a society. Thus, the executive condition is related to a certain relevance over others.
The executive term understood within the business environment
The concept of 'executive' is especially common and widely used in the business, employment and work space. This is so because in each company, institution or workplace a certain hierarchy of power and functioning is built that aims to establish different functions in different hands.
Among the numerous roles that can be fulfilled in a company, for example, we find the various employees but also the executives, that is, those people who have in their hands some kind of power or hierarchy over others and who have functions of executing or make decisions about certain phenomena. In general, the executive sectors of a company are usually the authorities, the most powerful people, those who take action, those who distribute the resources or the means of production, etc.
The Executive Branch as part of a complex system of government
Another space in which it is common to hear the term 'executive' is in politics when we talk about the division of powers. One of the three most common powers in the republics of different parts of the West is the Executive Power, usually occupied by a president or by the one who governs and makes the most important decisions about a territory.
The executive branch, unlike the legislative branch or even the judicial branch, is the one in charge of executing policies, measures, changes, etc. in a territory over which it has power and over a certain population. Although the idea of division of powers arises to balance the different officials who occupy public positions, in many regions of the planet it is often understood that whoever occupies the Executive Power is the only one who governs and in that case we speak of presidential systems in which the other powers are annulled or lose their place in the face of the force of who occupies the first magistracy.
Decision execution as an important part of an entrepreneurial spirit
Nowadays, it is very common to find material and specialists in issues such as improving self-esteem, changing the things that you are not satisfied with in your life, etc.
In these cases, it is very common to speak of the need for a spirit or an executive attitude to make decisions that can improve our quality of life. This would imply getting out of the routine and having enough determination to execute and put into practice everything that was ever dreamed of.
