Management
Styles
- Managing by
Walking Faster than the Employees
- These
kind of managers you will always see
in the corridor, ten steps away.
"We'll have to talk" you
can hear them say, just as they have
disappeared around the corner.
- Managing by
Staring out of the Window
- These
managers you usually meet with their
backside faced to you with their
hands in their pockets. When you talk
to them, their thoughts keep staring
out of the windows.
- Managing by
Post-It's
- Some
managers forget everything. They want
to impress you with their 'busy'ness
by continuously writing on Post-it's
while you are talking.
- Managing by
Delegation to the Secretary
- These
managers just delegate everything to
the secretary. If he is good, He
knows what she must do.
- Managing by
Knowing Nothing
- These
managers don't really know anything
at all. They let YOU give answers.
Meanwhile they fill the time with
nice anecdotes of irrelevant cases.
- Managing by
Conceptual Thinking
- These
people try to explain the present
from a theoretical view of the far
future. The idea that this never will
work, completely satisfies them: They
will always have something to talk
about.
- Managing by
Hiding Information
- Information
hiders are aware of the market value
of strictly secret kept information.
You must be very thankful to get any
information at all. Beware of
simulants from the Know Nothings!
- Managing by
Doing Exactly What the Boss Says
- These
managers prevent their bosses from
creative thinking. Else they got more
work to do.
- Managing by
Walking One Foot Behind the Boss
- In
hierarchical organizations you can
watch those groups walking in the
corridor. The more equal managers are
directly followed by the lesser equal
managers, and so on.
- Managing by
Smiling and Wearing Nice Suits
- If you
drink beer with them, lunch with
them, smile to them and also wear
nice suits, nothing can stop your
career anymore.
- Managing by
Studying
- Despite
their continual attendances of all
kind of studies and congresses, they
still belong to the Know Nothings.
The longer they learn, the further
they get from the practice.
- Managing by
Creating Vague Overhead Sheets
- Do you
know them? Those sheets with some big
arrows, boxes or circles? These
sheets provide the ultimate proof of
their overall brilliance.
- Managing by
Open Door and Empty Room
- This is
a major improvement of the older
'Open Door' management style. Now you
can really walk in and out anytime
you want. Nobody ever knows where
these managers are.
- Managing by
Speaking with Other Managers
- This
kind of managing is very popular. It
will give them within a few hours the
same information as an employee can
tell them in 15 minutes.
- Managing by
Having a Non-Supporting Infrastructure
- In an
organization with a hopeless
infrastructure, managers are really
necessary. These managers will
naturally prevent the organization
from having a better infrastructure.

management style is ATRASACWOC. (Adopted

Communication).
- Managing by
Using Buzz Words

managers like to bluff your head off
with hip, nearly undefined, terms.
- Managing by
Reorganization

think there is nothing more to
organize, they reorganize.
- Managing by
Believing

managers must be spiritual educated,
because they have no clues at all.
- Managing by
Forgetting Promises

remind them to one of their promises,
the priority of that promise is to
low to remember.
