Flexing Your Management Style for Maximum Impact

Improve your team’s effectiveness by applying the best management styles

More than 90% of managers said they flex between styles and that doing so is essential. Yet only 60% of employees said their manager exercises this ability.* Your style determines how you communicate, make decisions and exercise power. That means as a manager, your style is impacting how work gets done and how people feel about being part of your team. So how often do you think about the way you’re perceived by others? Are you the manager you think you are? Since there isn’t a “best” style that meets every need, managers must learn to flex their styles depending on the team’s goal, context and changing situations. This course will help you accurately identify and leverage a range of management styles, so you use the best style to fit the specific work scenario, the people you’re interacting with and the culture of your organization. *Based on survey data from over 1,100 U.S. knowledge workers, summarized in AMA’s Whitepaper, Management Styles: Are You the Manager You Think You Are?
