Module 6
Discover how well your management style works - and what to do if it doesn't.
- Identify your predominant style of managing people - as seen by you and by your co-workers.
- Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of various management styles, and their appropriateness.
- Forge a personal framework for making the best management-style choices.
- Compare your leadership style against our database of achieving leaders and see how you compare- and if needed - how to close the gaps.
This module integrates prevailing theories of management by (1)
presenting a model for analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of
various management styles and (2) providing an action exercise for
"pulling together," in a comprehensive framework, other models dealing
with issues of motivation, communication, power, and management values,
which combine to make an overall management "style." Thus, the module
serves to integrate much of the material presented in previous modules
of the process. It also provides a structure for systematically
examining personal behavior from multiple vantage points (1) to
facilitate better understanding of personal style preferences, and (2)
to provide a framework for making more informed choices regarding a
program of personal change.
Module helps managers and leaders:
-
Evaluate their current style of leadership / management
-
Discover the impact of common styles

To familiarize participants with the Style Parallax Model of People /
Performance issues as a way to analyze management style according to
multiple considerations;
-
To provide, via a synthesis exercise, an opportunity and the necessary
structure for conceptually relating previous modules of MFM that
influence style;
-
To provide an opportunity for receiving feedback regarding one's
perception of his or her own style, coupled with feedback from direct
reports or co-workers regarding their assessments of the manager's
practices;
-
To explore some of the action alternatives available to participants as
strategies for change upon their return to the real world of work;
-
To coach participants on how they can conduct a meeting with those who
gave them feedback. Participants are encouraged to get together with
those co-workers who have rated them in order to share the concepts
learned in the module, opening up effective discussion and creating a
forum for action planning with their team concerning the subject matter
of this module.

To help participants create a Personal Development Plan that builds
upon and integrates the knowledge, experience, tools, goals and actions
steps formulated in prior modules into a comprehensive plan to continue
