Some managers prefer to be friendly with employees and others prefer to be completely professional with no room for a good personal relationship. Which do you think is more appropriate?
Management style should be adjusted to type of personalities one manager has in his/her team. Knowing how your teamsters approach their work, how they communicate, what kind of relations they have with other colleagues, how motivated and satisfied they are is what helps you to define and build your management style.
Being to friendly or too strict as a manager will probably bring more harm than good to your business. If you position yourself as a friend to your team members, they will mostly become too relaxed around you and start slacking off their responsibilities. On the other side, "military commander" style can produce fear and demotivation after being constantly pushed and stressed out.
Golden middle happens to be the best approach. However, keeping control and balanced relations with your team members is not as easy as it sounds. It requests excellent listening skills, great sympathy or said in one "people's skills". Next to being an expert in your field and able to transfer your knowledge and skill sets, being able to understand needs of your team and support them while creating results is what matters the most.
I prefer to be a fair manager while maintaining a friendly relationship with employees
Strictly Professional
...................................
I prefer friendly drill & i think strictly professional is not appropriate way.
Need to find a happy medium in the relationship with the team. This is very important since go too far to one side or the another is fraught with falling speed and quality of work, lack of motivation and unwillingness to work
No friendship, but a lot of Empathy...
Friendly but in a professional way.
I prefer to lead a team of professionals in a manner that they will not cross the boundaries of a friend and as a manager. When at work, we are more of professionals doing our tasks and accomplishing work together as a team and a friend you can count on to resolve issues or challenges. Strict compliance or lax in managing people may not lead to our desired result. We need to understand work-life balance as well so that our employees would not feel too much pressure regarding work. In management, we call this method a calculated risk.
A manager has to be trustworthy for his/her co-worker. He/she has to share any information that enhance the coworkers to be alert what is going on in their department. The need of transparent decision making is so important to build trustworthy among employees. He/she must organize a meeting once in a week to transfer his/her exposure & managerial skill to their successor. He/she must be strategic thinker rather than dealing with day to day tasks. Every tasks must be done within a system so as to give consistent decision. He/she must to be accountable for any decision & responsive to the employee.
Manager should be friendly in a professional way. No room for personal sentiments.
