What Price Neurotic Managers?
This is a guest post by Kurt Motamedi, PhD, Professor of Strategy and Leadership
Managers are critical resources for national and global economic and social prosperity. They play a significant role in setting direction, executing strategies, and creating success. Their styles, along with their other competencies, impact the productivity and well-being of their employees, peers, superiors, and consequently firms.
Our observations lead us to categorize four managerial styles at work:
- Type I: Champion, produces great business success and aspires and maintains high levels of morale and well-being.
- Type II: Driver, produces business success, but inflict human costs and lower well-being.
- Type III: Lenient, produces questionable results with high, but short-lived morale.
- Type IV: Negligent, neither provides great business results nor satisfied employees
