Sign up for free     Log in   Preferred Style for Managing Professionals Jaap de Jonge, Editor, Netherlands   According to the situational leadership model, we should adapt our management style to the situation, in particular to the development level of the employees. This development level of the employees depends on 2 main variables: competence in the task and commitment to the task. 1. We start by examining their competence. The team is composed of professionals. Assuming they are operating inside their domain of expertise, they have a moderate or even high level of competence in their task areas. So they fall in category D3 or D4 in the picture of the summary and the matching managementstyle is either S3 or S4.. 2. Now we'll condeir their commitment to the task area: If their task commitment/motivation is high, then they are seen as D4 and the preferred leadership style would be S4: Delegating. Then both the directive and the supportive behavior of the manager can be and should be low. - If their task commitment/motivation is variable or moderate, they are seen as D3 and the preferred management style would be S3: Participating/Supporting. then the directive behavior of the manager should be low, and the manager should focus on the relationship, supporting such professionals. Note: you can find another angle to how you should manage professionals in the discussion "How can you motivate knowledge workers?" which focuses on giving knowledge professionals a sense of making progress in meaningful work. Ultimately this approach arrives at the same conclusion as the above: task autonomy and personal support.   Consider also the Context when Managing Professionals Dil Prasad Shrestha, PhD, Management Consultant, Nepal, Member   (...)   Preferred Management Styles for Professionals Erik van geel, Management Consultant, Netherlands, Member   (...)   Managing Professionals: First Expectations and Responsibilities Alan Kennedy   (...)   Managing Professionals by MBPO Javier Elenes, Business Consultant, Mexico, Member   (...)   Preferred Management Styles for Professionals Karel V , CEO, South Africa, Member   (...)   Use Situational Leadership Style for Professionals Oshun, Grace Okaima, Lecturer, Nigeria, Member   (...)   Managing Professionals Briolett, Manager, Canada, Member   (...)   Preferred Style of Managing Professionals Dammike Kobbekaduwe, HR Consultant, Sri Lanka, Member   (...)   The Role of Culture in Managing Professionals Graham, Teacher, Thailand, Member   (...)   Required Management Skills Abdullah Sultan, HR Consultant, Saudi Arabia, Member   (...)   Managing Professionals from Multiple Cultures Finn, Qatar, Member   (...)   More of the Same Andrew Blaine, Business Consultant, South Africa, Member   (...)   Managing Professional Gandhi Heryanto, Management Consultant, Indonesia, Premium Member   (...)   It Depends on Culture Seelig   (...)   Don't Ignore the Advice of Professionals Joseph L Mbolota, HR Consultant, Zambia, Member   (...)   Managing Professionals Requires Giving Freedom Willie Odemwingie, Lecturer, Nigeria, Member   (...)   Freedom to Professionals jacinta wamwaki, Kenya, Member   (...)   Management Style in an R&D Organization s c narang, HR Consultant, India, Member   (...)   Management of Professionals Nzyoka, Student (University), Kenya, Member   (...)   Preferred Management Style for Professionals: Management by Invitation Wismayer   (...)   Management of Professionals that are Low on Knowldege and Commitment, but they're not to Blame Pigeot   (...)   5 Conditions for Successful Management of Professionals Jose A.
