Tough Guy Jeremy Frazer is an associate in investment banking that has to work with Chip Mazey the vice president. Mazey is a disgruntled vice president that was never polite and refused to take no for an answer. However Frazer is faced with the challenge of confronting Mazey about his behavior, but he is concerned if Mazey deny his behavior or do not think there is a problem. Frazer is also worried if he should escalate his issues with Mazey’s boss about the stories his coworkers had shared. Frazer has gathered all this information on Mazey which

First, and foremost, we need to recognize that Mazey ultimately needs to change his management style—this would correct the issues altogether. Mazey needs to loosen up a bit when working alongside of others and get his power issues under control—as all the employees are now becoming very aggravated and uncomfortable working with him. As mentioned before, Mazey is currently operating on the competing shark management style—at the up most extreme—which isn’t right for this particular situation. Mazey needs to get on the board with the collaborating owl management style—which is a win-win environment. The collaborating owl management style will introduce a variety of things that will help Mazey be liked and easier to work with—for example, he will have to focus on identifying goals for the company and the relationships that are present. This management style will also help find solutions to problems that will be agreeable to all sides, as said before, is a win-win solution—with all negative feelings eliminated. Most often this management style is used when building or maintaining relationships is of most importance along with peer conflict being present. The only drawback with this management style is that it is very time consuming which means that Mazey will have to stick with it—basically do a 180 from where he is at right now. Mazey also needs to work on his relationships throughout the company as many of the employee’s dread performing/working

Discuss the three types of management styles that are reviewed in your course materials (Scientific Management, Human Relations Management, and Systems Management).

I look at myself and I see an individual who wants to help others succeed. Understanding that helping other is my main goal will allow me to analyze what kind of leader I want to become. Knowing when a person needs coaching and when a person needs me to take a step away will be a key aspect to my leadership style. I want the people I am leading to feel confident with the task, but also comfortable enough they can ask for help if they need any assistance. Having a caring response to each problem will allow me to act rationally and take the best course of action. I will motivate others by allowing them to buy into my philosophy of helping others and always giving 100% of my effort.
When evaluating big businesses large and small, the thoughts that entertain any average person’s mind is how that business soared to the heights it is at now? Many different answers can be considered when addressing an answer to that question which could be acquisition, increase in revenues, and joint operation between two companies or even high talent retention/acquisition. When looking to address that question bit deeper we have to look more behind the scenes management leadership styles. A leader when we think about it is someone with significant authority and/or influence to invoke change and also motivate workers to produce the highest quality work output. This paper will be addressing my leader “Michael Sacco” who is President of Seafarers International Union an employer from the subsequent past. This paper will attempt to describe him by applying either one or more than one of the various types of leadership styles. Questions that will be addressed are how Mr. Sacco address diversity within the union did, was he ethical, concern about how the organization impacted the consumer, and his leader values. Other topics that will be presented are the lifecycle stage Seafarers International Union (SIU) was at the during Marcus tenure there, what did Mr. Sacco do to enhance the culture and/or destroy it during that tenure.
This is a good fit for someone who is a strong enough personality to maintain the perfect example for employees.
In one of the articles Kent (2005, p1012) succinctly sums up the most commonly made distinctions between management and leadership with clear echoes of Drucker when he states: “Managers do the things right; leaders do the right things; managing is an authority relationship; leading is an influence relationship; and managing creates stability; leading creates change”.

Finding a leadership style is like finding the dress or suit that fits just right. It may take several attempts, but once you find the one that fits, it is usually the one you will keep. For this class, we were asked to take a 50 question survey from Kent University to help us figure out what type of leadership style fits us best. From the results provided from the test, my leadership style was typed as participative. When reading more about participative leadership, I saw a quote I was able to resonate with completely, “The leader makes the final decision, but the team to contribute to the decision-making process” (How to find, n.d.). This quote made me realized that this type of leadership fit me down to the T. In terms of effective communication, I always make an effort to make sure the listener absolutely understands what I am conveying. By asking questions or bringing up any concerns they might have, I am able to make sure that everyone is on the same page. My job presents several opportunities to help teach and train new operators. By having a participant leadership style, I must ensure new operators know how to work within their position proficiently. As a trainer, I deal with trainees who at times feel overwhelmed with the plethora of information given to them. I find it important to give encouragement and facilitate training when need be. Being a participant leader requires a great of humility: “The leader can 't know everything”
Management styles are the method of leadership ship that an administrator usually employs when running a business. The management style of leaders will influence on organizational climate, and the organizational climate has significant effect on organizational performance which is profit of enterprise. So managers have to think about that which management style they should take, and why they should take the style. According to Hay-McBer there are six management styles or leadership.
In every company there are a great deal of management styles among all of the managers. While some managers prefer the classical management style that focus on increasing employee productivity, others like the management style of human relations which puts emphasis on how the employee’s feel at their work place. When any new employee enters a work place they have to try and figure out how their new bosses manage and how they run their business, this is management style.
The style of management and administration of an organization that can be viewed as efficient in most cases stems from a competent and effective management system. A competent system on the other hand is as a result of an effective organizational leadership. One of the key factors that contribute to effective and competent management and administration style is team building. Team building is very important in any organization as it fosters close ties between the top and the bottom management personnel. Team building is also believed to reinforce the skills of the work force; team building reinforces the attitude, the skills and knowledge of the workforce. This paper therefore seeks to analyze and discuss the extent to which the
