Last week, I was thinking of the 6 different management styles, something I first heard in 2000 during my MBA. Interesting how some topic can pop up in your mind.
Two interesting inputs in Wikipedia and Leadersin Heels.
As a reminder, also for me (!), the 6 categories:
- Directive
- Authoritative
- Affiliative
- Participative
- Pacesetting
- Coaching
My experience still is that you have to consciously chose the best approach depending on the people and the context. No best style!
