Management is a practice where art, craft, and science meet. Most managers tend to tilt one way or another: toward creative art, practical craft, or organized science. The trouble is when one tilts too far, managing gets out of balance.

What's your management style?

In this CoachingOurselves session, Mintzberg and Sadilova explain different management styles to avoid "one-sided" managing, in yourself and your team.

You will:

  • Learn some basic management styles
  • Understand better your style and those of your colleagues
  • Consider how to modify your style to enhance your effectiveness

Exercises, based on specific examples from your managerial experience, will get you thinking about your future practice as a manager.
