Could a change in management style make a difference in your bottom line?  
How do you (or your managers) relate to those to subordinates?  
Take this assessment to find your style of management.

Our "Supervisory Attitudes" online assessment will help you uncover your own attitudes towards your subordinates.  There are no "right" or "wrong" answers, just a gold mine of information you can use to improve performance across the board.

Directions: The following are various types of behavior which a supervisor (manager,leader) may engage in, in relation to subordinates. 

Read each item carefully and then check one of the columns to indicate what you would do.

A = Make a great effort to do this C = Tend to avoid doing this
B = Tend to do this D = Make great effort to avoid doing this

As a supervisor, I (would): 

A
B
  C D
1 Closely supervise my subordinates in order to get better work from them

2 Set the goals and objectives for my subordinates and sell them on the merits of my plans
3 Set up controls to assure that my subordinates are getting the job done.
4 Encourage my subordinates to set their own goals and objectives.
5 Make sure that my subordinates’ work is planned out for them. 
6 Check with my subordinates daily to see if they need any help. 
7 Step in as soon as reports indicate that the job is slipping.
8 Push my people to meet schedules if necessary. 
9 Have frequent meetings to keep in touch with what is going on. 
10 Allow subordinates to make important decisions.

    

Your Results:
31-40 Your score indicates you operate as a Theory Y type manager.    
Theory Y managers assume the expenditure of physical and mental effort in work is as natural as play or rest.  
21-30 Your score indicates you operate as a combination Theory X + Theory Y type manager.    
Theory X + Theory Y managers bring an interesting mix of assumptions to the management picture.  
10-20 Your score indicates you operate as a Theory X type manager.    
Theory X managers assume that subordinates have an inherent dislike of work and will avoid it if they can.

Now that you know your score, you need to know which kind of management style works best in your company or situation.  Contact Proven Strategies to see which management style your company or situation needs.
