Objective: Analyze your own management style and how it can be effectively utilized to maximize results
EXAMPLE: Analyze your own management style and determine how it can be effectively utilized to maximize results. Review Exhibit 12.3 on page 411. Which of the five leadership styles best describes you?
Example answer: My management style is considered to be most like the team management style. I am very concerned about getting the work done, yet I want to make sure my staff members are committed, yet happy in doing their work. Working relationships are very important. If we don’t get along with our manager, or our team members, it can make work very difficult. Therefore, results tend to be down. If issues arise, it is important that we confront one another in a non-confrontational way, and get the issue worked out quickly, so we can continue working and production remains high. I want everyone to trust and respect each other.
