Management
Power Base Inventory
According to the power base inventory these are the results in percentages. I score 50% in Information, Expertise, and Authority. One of the sections I was a little surprised because I do believe in reward but do not use it as an incentive to get people to like me, the score was 40% and 10% for goodwill. When I find out the score for Discipline it made me feel good and somewhat comfort. The score was 90% which according to the power base inventory discipline might involved criticizing undesirable behaviors, penalizing team members for rule violations, or firing team members whose performance in unacceptable (pg.18). Even though I do not have a lot of experience in management, I have seen managers been successful when they treat everyone equal without showing favoritism. Being a nice person is good because usually people like you and employees are happy to have a good guy as manager but it is also bad because unfortunately most people take advantage of it and start breaking rules. When they are not been punish for their actions the company can suffer the consequences therefore the manager will fail as well. The relationship between the manager and his employees should not be taken as your friend but as your mentor who will guide you and train you to be successful in your job. According to the books warning signals the use of punishment creates more stress, anxiety, hurt, and frustration than other power bases. When discipline is used repeatedly, the hurt and frustration can turn into hostility and conflict. I do agree but at the same time rules and regulations where created for a reason, I don’t mean that we should abuse of it but it is necessary in the business world to instill discipline and avoid mistakes. A manager could be the most knowledgeable person in the company but if his personality is like the nice guy, it would hurt the company and his employees. I believe we should always challenge our selves regardless of our position,
