Implied Powers
Imagine you were a chef tasked in preparing the food for a major banquet. You've already been hired for the job and told what to make. In order to accomplish your task - serving dinner - you would have to make decisions and execute them, ranging from what types of ingredients to choose to what utensils to use.
If every single decision was made by committee or needed oversight, the planning process would take forever, and you might not be able to get your own job done. For this reason, you would most likely have the final say on these details or the power to execute your own job.
