Do you know? Managers can be of two kinds based upon their management styles.
People-focused
These managers are most concerned about the satisfaction, motivation and well-being of the people they work with. Do they like the work they’ve been asked to do? Is that work helping them to achieve their personal goals?
Task-focused
These managers are most concerned about jobs or tasks being performed to certain standards and to meet certain objectives or goals. Is the job finished on time? Has it been done without any mistakes?
What's your managing style?
Follow below steps to know your managing style:
