What is Your Management Style

To define a management style or your management style you need to know the role. Typically the main focus is on managing people and their activities. It differs and sometimes out of the realm of people management, such as process management.
Managers ensure things get done, focusing on daily task by managing the activities of others. Managers often times have a directive approach utilizing prescribe agendas to fulfill their roles and capabilities more so in an organizational style approach. This doesn’t mean they can direct people because they’re process oriented. Managers are usually just high performers of what they may have done in previous roles.

There are distinctions in leaders and managers, whereas leaders are more strategically sound and inspire people to get the task done. This is simply an inert ability from within that gives leaders the stamina to push people and get the objective accomplished. They use whatever works in their arsenal of skills to motivate their people and get the work out of them. Leadership skills are really more behavioral than management skills. Leaders are change oriented knowing that changes will better the successes.

Both skill sets have to be able to work together when one is given the role to manage/ lead. Not everyone is a good manager and not everyone is a good leader. However there are those that can do both and compliment each skill set with the other.

So for me to say what kind of Manager I am, I am process driven. I am organized and detail oriented despite what I have to do to get it done. Whether it’s delegate, or manage step by step I am processed oriented toward continuous improvements and best practices.

As a leader I am more inspiring although wanting to get it done from my management strengths, I believe by empowering the employees to be creative and offer openness and think outside the box will give them a since of ownership and contribution toward the success and when you have a successful project stimulated by successful employees that have a buy in as being part of the process instead of being nothing more than a machine the overall outcome is win/win.
