Introduction

Management styles are wide and varied across the entire world of work. The specific type of management that works for one particular set of workers does not always work for another group of employees. Almost everyone has come into direct contact with a manager at some point in their careers. It is the relationship between the employee and the manager that must be keenly developed; in order for an office, factory, restaurant, or similar organization to run smoothly and effectively. When an organization is being managed efficiently, workers are much more upbeat, production levels are optimal, and the overall working environment has a fragrance of positivity. In sharp contrast, when an organization is ineffectively managed, more times than not, worker productivity are well below standard levels, workers are more prone to use sick days, and the working environment has an extremely dismal feel. Understanding these two sides of effective and ineffective management will help us to further grasp the grave importance of various types of management style. The thing that makes management such a hotly discussed issue is the fact that truly effective management is the lifeblood and livelihood of any successful organization. As the United States and world economy continues to change around us, so does management style. As the market pool of heavily tech-savvy, college educated workers prepare to enter into the shaky job market, management styles will also continue adapt to fit the ever changing employee profile. Some of the myriad management styles that a great deal of first-line, middle, upper-level and executive manager's use on a daily basis include: Participatory Style, Directing Style, and Teamwork Style.

No doubt as our ancestors were struggling to make fire, there would have been one assertive individual instructing the others in how to strike their flint correctly and, then in turn, wondering how they could market the concept to neighboring tribes. Management style has equally no doubt been written about since man first committed images to cave walls.
