Showing the response would be very helpful, especially if the responder got a job there My management style varies depending on the employee. I've found that people are different so a one-size fits all style doesn't work. Some people respond to aggressive goals; others don't thrive on pressure. Some people prefer frequent check-ins; others prefer clear direction up front and then giving them space to get their work done. Some general rules: * Focus on hiring smart people with great problem solving skills and good communication. * Take the time to explain the business value of the work they are assigned ensures motivation. * And most importantly, having compassion for each person - show the person you value them, show the person you care when things are hard, and invest your time in the person.

The relational manager is interested in responding to the needs of the staffs as well as focusing on achieving the task. Relational manager are prepared to modify tasks if needed to cater for personal needs of individuals within the company or organisetion. Relational manager create an open communication environment where everyone develops trust and appreciation for each other. The leader’s aim is for the group to have positive memories that aid in personal development, self-confidence, and skills. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT AN EMPLOYER WANTS THE BEST INDIVIDUAL FOR THE POSITION. IN REFERENCE TO STYLE, I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT EVERY COMPANY HAS A SET OF GUIDE LINES PUT FORTH THAT EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW. THESE GUIDELINES ARE THERE FOR A REASON. MANAGEMENT IS RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE ADHERED TO. A GOOD MANAGER SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIS SUBORDINATES. A GOOD MANAGER SOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW WHEN HE SHOULD BE AGGRESSIVE,STERN, OR RELAXED WHEN A JOB NEEDS TO BE DONE. The best management style is when employees are lead by example and not by command. Managing people is a skill you learn from listening, explaining expectations and working with your employees, teaching them what TEAM WORK is all about. Treat your employees with respect and they will respect you. They may not always like the choices they make, but they understand there are always consequences to their actions and e have to do are jobs, do it with respect. Show More Responses Being a good manager is about knowing your people. You can manage all day long, assign work out and be as directive as possible. But do you have respect from your team? Can they come to you and ask questions and feel at ease and confident in your response? Leading is the term I like to reference because a good leader supports their team and is uplifting. They give everyone an opportunity to advance if that is what they desire. People management is about your people and how you treat them. Don't be a friend but rather a mentor, someone they can look back at and say you were a positive influence in their life. For me the hardest part about leading is having that rock star employee who goes above and beyond, how do you continue to challenge that person if there is no room for advancement. People Management is my passion because I care about the people who work with me I don't just manage them. Management style is solely dependent on you and your approach to your team's success. People will follow you off a cliff if they know you genuinely care for them and their life goals. You cannot do this without spending time listening to them. So hire people smarter than you, then listen to them. This works every time! Being a good manager of people requires good insight, foresight, and good hindsight to make the former two attributes even more accurate. But most of all, a good manager doesn't seek to micromanage, but empower those who work for him. If you want to lead. You serve those who you want to follow. Without the attributes above, You cannot understand people, nor can you get them to follow your lead. A good manager should not seek to manage his people. He should seek to manage the daily operations of their jobs, by having the insight to know how their employees are feeling/performing (without data) , foresight to know where it will lead the team, and hindsight just to make sure there are better approaches to any given situation. These attributes requires immense experience with much self reflection. Unfortunately many managers would not agree with me. My management style is SITUATIONAL leadership. It depends on a situation you are in i.e. the urgency, importance, complexity, scope of work you are dealing with and the maturity of the team you are handling. - Autocratic will work in a situation where the team is new or immature and the urgency is very high. - Participative will work well in a situation when you have enough time for planning and have a mature team from which you are expecting good critics or feedback based on their knowledge base. - Delegative style works well when you are leading a mature and senior people in your team and the job is well known or at least well defined and roles are pretty clear. That is when the team is working under "Performing" stage. |
