subordination

Examples of subordination in the following topics:

• Corporate Bonds

  • Senior debt has seniority over subordinated debt in the issuer's capital structure.
  • Subordinated debt is repaid after other debts in the case of liquidation or bankruptcy.
  • Such debt is referred to as subordinate, because the debt providers (the lenders) have subordinate status relative to the normal debt.
  • Because subordinated debt is repaid only after other debts have been paid, they are riskier for lenders.
  • Subordinated debt is also unsecured and has a lower priority than any additional debt claim on the same asset.

• Delegation of Authority

  • Assigning a subordinate as a project leader is a form of delegation
  • Delegation (or deputation) is the assignment of authority and responsibility to another person (typically from a manager to a subordinate) to carry out specific activities.

• Appropriate Tone

  • A piece of correspondence written in the formal tone contains the proper subordination, is free from discriminatory language, and contains no slang or text speak.

• The role of the astute manager

  • For example, if an employee approaches a manager with a sustainable cost-saving idea and the manager says ‘no', the manager is probably serving his or her ego (few words show that a manager has superiority over a subordinate than the word ‘no').

• Styles of Leadership

  • Examples of authoritarian communicative behavior include a police officer directing traffic, a teacher ordering a student to do his or her assignment, and a supervisor instructing a subordinate to clean a work station.
