Discovering what type of manager you are is essential to optimising your effectiveness and the well-being of your team.
The management test can be a valuable resource for this exploration.
In the management test report, you’ll find your preferred management styles, your emotional and intellectual agility, your ability to take the lead in a team while letting it unfold, the managerial skills you’ve already developed and are comfortable with, and the skills you may need to strengthen (ability to lead a meeting, delegate, give feedback, etc.).
Your preferred management styles
Some people prefer delegative management, delegating responsibilities to encourage autonomy and the development of skills.
Participative management involves working closely with the team, encouraging ideas and collective decision-making.
The manager-coach relies on questioning and encourages employees to develop their skills and confidence.
In contrast, directive management is based on clear directives and close supervision.
Other managers adopt a paternalistic approach, favouring close involvement in their employees’ professional lives to ensure their well-being.
