What is a management style?

A management style is a way a manager works to reach their goals for the company. Your management style comprises how you make decisions, oversee team members, and plan and delegate tasks. You might use different management styles throughout your career rather than sticking with just one.

Several internal and external factors affect your management style. You and your organization’s leadership have a say in internal factors: company policies, task priorities, employee skill levels, company culture, employee engagement. On the contrary, you’ll lack control over external factors, though they’ll still affect the entire staff. These factors include the economic factors and your competitors, consumers, and suppliers.
