Management for Peak Performance

Approaches to Management include:

1 Micro Managing

2 Hands off

3 Managing for Performance

Micro managing: being a control freak who enjoys exerting and abusing power, has a detrimental effect on staff morale. In a study 33% of those interviewed left their job because their boss was a micro-manager.

Taking a hands off approach can be at best well intentioned, at worst lazy.  It can demotivate staff, leaving them feeling that the boss doesn’t really care or isn’t that interested in their team.

Managing for Performance is about building a genuine trusting relationship with employees, and creating a positive working environment.  This often results in improved performance of employees and satisfied customers!
