“Are you the manager people love to hate?

The author of the text points out such a problem as whether it is acceptable to perform
abrasive behavior while being a boss and provides with some suggestions for different sorts of
managers for dealing with it.
First of all, he defines “field marshals” who are control freaks and tend to intimidate others.
The recommendation is to solicit ideas for how a task should be carried out and in order to
achieve the goals you should focus on the problem.
Second type of managers is called “street fighters” who are extremely competitive. The
suggestion for such bosses is to determine who your real enemies are and whether cooperating
make more sense.
“Rebels” have troubles running companies and rarely earn promotions because a job
demands leadership and teamwork skills more than personal achievement. The solution is to
decide if your set of rules is in everyone’s best interest.
“Dr. Jekylls and Mr Hydes” is a sort of managers who have good interpersonal skills in one
part of an organization, however they are having troubles with everyone else. The
recommendation for them is to work on your relationships with colleagues other than those
you’re trying to impress, and in this way, you’ll establish harmony and an efficient workplace.
To sum up, I find this article useful and applicable for those who is in charge of the top
positions in the company because building effective communication is one of the key to
success.
