There are many different management styles, and in some cases managers may have more than one. However, should a manager have more than one style, there will usually be a “dominate” style that prevails. You might want to consider evaluating managers you have worked with/for and determine what you perceive their management style to be. What made them (or the style) effective and what issues did you perceive.
