MODELS OF DIFFERENT MANAGEMENT STYLES:

1. Consultative Management Style

 The managers/supervisors ask for the thoughts, ideas and viewpoints of every
member of their team. The manager will consider all information given by team
members before they make the final decision.

Advantages: Promotes a deeper bond and builds trust within teams;

management grows with the team; and collective ideas can lead to better
problem-solving.

Setbacks: The process of consulting staff can be time-intensive; there might be

favoritism which results to distrust and resentment from employees; unskilled
manager in time management aspect can easily get bogged down; and extreme
dependance on this style can lead to staff losing their trust in their boss.

2. Participative Management Style

 The managers/supervisors and staff participate in the decision process. The
management works together with staff to make decisions and then the company
acts on them.

Advantages: Increased of motivation, productivity and innovation because the

employees feel as though they are valued by their management team and the
organization.

Setbacks: Letting staff have access to sensitive information can be risky and
employees who do not want to be a part of this type of decision making may
resent their managers who engage this style.

3. Authoritative Management Style

 The managers/supervisors dictate exactly what they require their subordinates to
do and punish those who do not comply. Employers are expected to follow
orders and perform their tasks the same way each time.

Advantages: Allows hasty decision-making; creates clearly defined roles and

expectations, allows workers to operate without hesitations; and increase of
productivity when the manager is present.

Setbacks: Increase in the disgruntlement of employees which leads to higher

turnover, loathing, lack of professional development and employee engagement.
Innovation is muffled.
