An organization’s success depends largely on the strength of its management team—and the style a manager uses with others. The manager’s style can have a profound impact on an employee’s productivity, engagement, morale, performance and overall effectiveness. However, recent AMA research* suggests that while 90% of managers flex between styles and believe doing so is essential, only 60% of employees say their manager has this ability.
This course will help you to accurately identify and leverage a range of management styles so you can adapt the best style to fit the specific work scenario, the people you interact with, and the culture of your organization—while achieving greater success.
*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?
