Where/When this style would be suitable?
- An excellent management style is when employees are encouraged and lead properly.
- They tend to work hard and are focused on their goal. When there is an increase in absenteeism, apathy and discords between the employees, It would signify that there is a poor management running in the business.
- Firstly, individuals move from a passive state as infants
to a state of increasing activity as adults.
- Secondly, individuals begin to become independent
and not having to rely on others as an adult
- Third, individuals behave in only a few ways as infants,
but as adults they are capable of behaving in many ways.
- Fourthly, individuals have erratic, casual, and
shallow interests as infants but develop deeper and
stronger interests as adults.
- Fifthly, the time perspective of children is very short,
involving only the present, but as they mature, their
time perspective increases to include the past and the future.
- Sixthly, individuals as infants are subordinate to everyone,
but they move to equal or superior positions with others as adults.
- Seventhly. as children, individuals lack an awareness of a “self,”
- but as adults they are not only aware of, but they are able to control “self.”
