Scenario

Wanda has been reading up on management, using magazines at the grocery store checkout line as her primary resource. She admits popular magazines may not be the best sources of information about management, but she has learned that leadership and management styles can have a large impact on the success of a business. She saw a book titled “Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun” and thought it was a joke at first, but quickly realized that it is a serious work that has sold millions of copies. She doesn’t want her employees to think of her like some Mongol warlord, but at the same time knows she needs to be more of a leader and manager after the business expands. Once again, Wanda calls you!

For Discussion

As Wanda works to establish herself as a leader and manager, which of the various leadership and management styles should she adopt? Are there circumstances under which the one you recommend will NOT be appropriate, as it directly relates to her operations?

Thinking of when you have been “managed” or you have “managed” others (even in a group project in school), how do you prefer to manage and/or be managed and why?
