Background and objective: Since managers have authority in desicion making, in comparison with other staff, so their individuality may influence decisions and methods. In other words, managers have individual principal which affects their viewpoint in various issues of organization, employees and their activities. The method and principle of management of each manager is influenced by his individuality and culture. Individual differences based on personality can be a source of growth and creativity development, or the base of conflict, failure, and inevitable organizational problems. One of these inevitable problems in organizations is the individual differences in the organization, preserving the individual characteristics of managers along with co-operation and concordance with others. Nevertheless, managers’ individuality is one of the rare aspects which are less academically addressed, although individuality has a significant influence on the viewpoint, activity and management method of managers.
