The two types of management and leadership styles are task-oriented and employee-oriented. The task-oriented style of management is a unique one. As a task-oriented manager, the person maintains close supervision over the employees to ensure that the task gets done to his satisfaction. He not only has a unique style, but he is also considered as the "middle man" and his job is to appease his organization, and the clients. The other style of leadership is the employee-oriented. The employee-oriented manager is involved in motivating the employees rather than in controlling them.Most people that work in management roles' find themselves planning, organizing, leading and controlling on a daily basis. They find that most of their time is spent on problem solving involving issues on personnel conflicts and other matters. To match the right style with the right people allows the office to run much more easily and more efficiently.It is difficult to decide what makes a superior leader because of the different styles of leadership. The style of leadership best suited for a particular leader depends upon the informal and formal group that he or she is trying to influence. The important thing is that the organization's goals are jointly established, agreed upon and met in a timely manner.How do you decide which style of leadership and management is best for you? A manager should use the style of leadership that works best for the organization's goals and for his people. When this is done, he may find that there are fewer problems with the team and a decline in the number of turnover. Managers who have a good relationship with the employees are more likely to succeed, as companies strive to bring the best possible style of leadership in the workplace.Are you interested in my online courses to start a business?To the new and experienced entrepreneurs, getting help with your small business is very crucial to your success.
