What are some of the management styles you would say you use the most? For example, Laissez Faire, democratic, etc.

Whatever can get the job done, haha! Honestly, I don't know much about these styles, but I'd love to learn more. Which one would you say you use?

Laissez-faire works pretty well if you have excellent team dynamics and can trust everyone to do what they need to. Sometimes it's not that easy, but when it is, I really like to give people as much autonomy as possible.

I'm not sure which category this belongs to, but I like to solicit feedback from employees because I believe it fosters accountability on their part. I won't hesitate to inform a worker what has to be done, whether it's urgent or necessary, but I'll also inquire, if it's possible, about when they'd want a break, whether they're satisfied with their current position, etc.

I'm very hands-off. I have faith in your ability to perform your duties if I trusted you enough to hire you. Come to me for status updates, if you're having trouble solving a problem, or if you want me to speak up for you to the higher-ups. Other than that, I'll remain out of your business and I'll expect the same from you.

"Management styles" serve no purpose. Some employees require more supervision than others. Some require a lot of feedback, while others require less. Depending on the employee. I learn by walking around, paying attention to myself, and getting involved when it's necessary. I'm hands-off where I need to be and hands-on where I need to be.

I give the employees everything they need to execute their jobs and have faith in them to complete them. I don't hover or micromanage; I'm not their friend, and I don't demand mindless obedience. I want the work to be completed, and if there are any issues or demands, I expect them to let me know.

I've discovered that praising and motivating them is most effective. They have fantastic vision and the ability to move the company forward if they believe they have my backing. I only impose my will when it is absolutely necessary since they dislike it when I do so. In order to give them a sense of ownership over the company's development, I try to concentrate on making decisions in a collaborative manner.

Hmm. Great question. I'd like to be hands-on but not to the point of micromanaging. How about you?

I want to give them freedom as much as possible. I will only guide and supervise them. Also, make sure you give them feedback.

I don't have a particular style. I tend to change from time to time depending on what my team needs.

I think I am very hands-off. It's not that I do not care at all. I just want them to decide on their own most of the time.

I honestly think the “silent majority” this November are going to be people like me that voted for Trump in 2016 but will end up being a big reason he is voted out of office this time around. Biggest reason for me is the absolute lack of leadership and accountability.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
