· Reviewing your role - how do others see you?
What is management style? It is how a President/Manager implements his or her views on the organization and on the role of each employee. He/she sets the tone, defines the vision, and directs the strategies of the company.
Since your management style will make or mar your success as a leader, the good news is that management style is not an inherited trait. Therefore, developing a style that works for you and your company will benefit your career and the productivity of your team.
Knowledge of various styles of management is essential, as occasions will arise in business where the flexibility to utilize a variation of a different style will be important. The main kinds of leadership styles include:
1. Authoritative: These leaders may be autocratic or directive. They may have a strong need to control and may not have much faith in the abilities or input of those under them. An authoritative style may be effective in a crisis, when someone has to take charge, give orders and sort out chaos. Used for long periods, it may develop too much dependency on the manager.
2. Consultative: Leaders with teamwork tendencies may be democratic or coach-like. They encourage grassroots ideas. This middle-ground approach may bring out the best in team members. Accountability and continuing coordination are important for honing forward direction.
Hands-off: The laissez-faire attitude puts responsibility on the shoulders of employees, who may rise to the occasion. If productivity is reduced, there is a risk of the manager being out of the loop in terms of what's really going on. The manager demonstrates faith in the employees and a well-oiled machine, and may maintain an open-door policy(ASK FOR THE REST OF THIS PAPER)
