Macho Management Style – rather passé


In these difficult economic times we are constantly bombarded with negative news. As I undertake assignments for various companies there is no doubt that this is having a significant impact on morale and therefore impacting bottom line results.

It is important that Managers take on board the effect of these outside inputs on Staff and wherever possible reduce the "fear factor".

All too often I observe the management style to rely on pressurising people to attain often unrealistic targets. Far from improving performance it has the opposite effect.

It is time for a rethink - instead of relying on the stick approach, how about hitting with a carrot?
