Management Environment - The Workplace

There are as many management styles as there are book authors and professors.

Simply, the way  in which you manage employees is the company's management environment.

I prefer the basic, intuitive style of managing people through leadership. Simply put, be a leader. Use the techniques you learned in sports, the military (goes way beyond "yes sir"), work experience, and organizations.

It is a privilege to lead. Respect your people but motivate and push them to achieve. Set expectations and apply them to employees' performance.

This will generate a positive environment with maximum participation and performance on the part of employees.

Remember and repeat: what's best for the company and what's best for the employees is the same thing - whatever nurtures one, nurtures both.

Managing through fear, intimidation, abuse of authority, or disrespect are all bad and will result in a minimally productive management environment.
