The style of management depends on the type of psychological type, which means the effectiveness of the organization and the psychological climate in the team. The psychological type of leader is determined both by his personal characteristics, and by his experience, beliefs, and stereotypes. There are many types of leaders and management styles, but most of them somehow come down to the classification of authoritarian, democratic and anarchic management styles.
"Captain of the football team."
The team leader always builds a management system, clear rules, which he himself obeys, tries to reduce the role of interpersonal relations due to strict observance of algorithms, always looking for system solutions.
"Tamada"
A corporate leader, for whom harmony is important. He tries to take into account all opinions. Unlike the command leader, he plans less and calculates, and experiments more. His style - permanent meetings, meetings, "brainstorming."
"Puppeteer"
Leader-manipulator, which imposes its own rules and makes everyone play on them. These rules are not advertised, and employees should independently guess about them. The rules are constantly changing, so no one is insured against dismissal. Such a manager gets pleasure from playing with employees, from realizing his own ability to influence people.
"General"
A strong leader, almost always a high-class specialist in his field. People perceive people only as a means to an end, each employee is a function. Unlike the manipulator, who can pretend to be a "caring father," frankly neglects his subordinates.
"Sophist"
The leader-expert, always lives in the interests of the matter, is often ascetic, rarely mistaken. Employees respect him as a man who has thought of what others have not thought of. At the same time, such a leader often does not understand that his employees live not only in work - they have families, own problems, etc.
"Bureaucrat"
Indecisive leader who takes the position of "snail in the shell". He interferes little in the work of the organization, delays with making decisions, always waits for instructions from above, is guided by orders and ready-made schemes of work.
"Intriguer"
Vulnerable leader who feels well the attitude of subordinates and the relationship between them. For a long time he remembers both good and bad. Effective if led by a small team, where it is well treated. In large teams, he identifies favorites, confronts employees with each other, provokes conflicts.
"King"
A charismatic leader, basking in the love of his subordinates. He is enthusiastically spoken about, the strength of his personality is such that his presence alone is enough to make the work of the organization effective.
On a note
In order to determine the type to which the leader belongs, several important characteristics must be taken into account:
- how management is carried out;
- how the leader executes laws and orders;
- What is his reaction to crisis situations?
- how it relates to planning.
Among subordinates there are also people belonging to different psychological types. One is more comfortable with a democratic leader, others need a "strong hand" of an authoritarian leader whose orders are not discussed. In addition, not all people feel comfortable in the role of subordinates, then there is a struggle for leadership, and not every post it will come in handy. "His" leader sometimes has to be found, changing work, and there is no catastrophe in this either. However, sometimes the team manages to "educate" the leader, gradually imposing their interaction models, but this is possible only if the new models are obviously more effective and the leader is ready for change.
