Under what management style do you work most productively?

Answer 1

1. I prefer a carrot rather than a stick approach, and I have an open door policy. 2. I believe a manager has to be firm with the team and the team appreciate it so long as you are also scrupulously fair. Some example of a problem in your team that you resolved firmly but fairly.

Answer 2

Answer

There is no faster way to motivate your employee's than to be honest with them. Don't forget any forman, for-person is only as good as the employee's who work under him or her. Be honest with them, tell them the truth about how you may receive bonuses if indeed that you do receive production bonuses and when you receive these bonuses, you will make sure that something comes there way. Of course no one gives money out of their pockets, but there are other ways of rewarding employee's and that is speaking up for them when it comes time for their raises or if upper management decides that one of your group needs a written warning while the manager may not be able to stop it, he or she can warn the employee that a warning is coming their way and whatever it is that will cause upper management to give them a warning, it had better stop right away or else you won't be able to stop any further warnings. You can't imagine how this goes well with most employee's knowing that their immediate boss has spoken up for them.

Although the advice above is sound, a management philosophy should be a broad set of principles which help managers make all types of decisions. Keep them short and general and make sure everyone (including non-managers) believes in them and sign up to them. From there you'll be able to make consistent decisions on all manner of issues.

It is not a matter of the difference between Micro and Macro managing, Micro being concerned with details and Macro being concerned with the bigger picture of things. Every leader and good manager will have found a good balance between the two for their career field. You will work more efficiently and more productively when you are under the management of somebody who has found this balance because they will be able to give you goals as well as make your work better and more professional. So the correct style would be a balance between the two.
