Project on Management
Management styles are characteristic ways of making decisions and relating to subordinates. This idea was further developed by Robert Tannenbaum and Warren H. Schmidt (1958, 1973), who argued that the style of leadership is dependent upon the prevailing circumstance; therefore leaders should exercise a range of management styles and should deploy them as appropriate.
Management skills can be learned and developed. Management skills involve the importance of reflecting and adapting your practice. Sometimes the most difficult person to manage may be yourself. Learning to understand yourself as a manager can help you become a reflective person who is capable of adapting and improving their own performance.
Drucker summarises that the activities that a manager engages in are: * Setting objectives * Organisation of daily activities * Motivation and communication in order to create a team. * Measurement of performance of individuals and the organisation * Development of people in the organisation.
There are six different aspects of effective management and these are listed below. Throughout my project I will endeavour to look into these specific aspects.
* Managing yourself * Managing people * Managing communication and information * Managing other resources * Managing quality * Managing change
Managing yourself
An important aspect of managing yourself is time management. Often at Ruth House I can start a task but am interrupted by staff and leave a task half completed for a while due to the nature of the job. Occasionally there is not enough time to complete a task. Sometimes I have the tendency to spend too long on sometimes. I am ensuring now that I set myself a time limit for an activity. As a manager it is important to set a good example.
Procrastination can be controlled by a combination of both attitude and technique. It is about not putting off
