Everyone has met the manager from hell. The manager who belittles, who doesnt communicate clearly, whos ineffectual. But what are the factors that set the good managers apart from the poor? Can a managers style create a positive impact on performance, productivity and profits? Our research shows that by taking a particular approach to a given situation or environment, a manager can really improve employee morale and performance.

The Managerial Style Questionnaire throws light on this for individual managers. By completing this exercise, a manager will identify which styles he or she relies on most and when those styles are most and least effective. We all know that a managers behaviour directly affects employee motivation; it is essential that they understand the relationship between their style and their work environment. This questionnaire comes in the form of a tick & flick booklet. Its easy and practical to use and is especially effective when used in developing individuals awareness of how they lead, or as part of development coaching activities. It takes between 30-45 minutes to answer the 36 questions. It is available in English and some other languages. Managers can use the MSQ to: assess which managerial styles they believe they use. gather feedback from others on the styles they typically use. identify the differences between their own and others perceptions, and reflect on what they want to do about those differences.
