How have management styles changed over the past ten years?
I believe companies are recognising that autocratic dictatorial style of management is not the way forward. You only need to use this in the military in times of war or times of severe crisis in a company to survive. I believe there is a wave of positive change which is being reinforced by our universities and management schools and even government sweeping through industry. I believe company owners and CEOs are now aware that the greatest assets of their companies are the minds, hearts and attitude of their people and if they don’t inspire their people then their bottom line will be depressed. I believe the change is “leadership” styles moving from transactional to transformational.
