Every manager must have a set of fundamental principles, values ​​and beliefs that he or she must follow. These principles, values ​​and beliefs constitute its management philosophy. Webster defines philosophy as “the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group.” (Webster) I will discuss the principles, values ​​and beliefs I will have as a manager to do my job effectively. I will also discuss the different biblical beliefs that support my management style. I believe in a directive and conceptual decision-making style. When there is a small problem that requires a quick solution, I would use the directive decision-making style. This would be similar to a problem I would have faced in the past. For the biggest obstacles that come my way, I would take the conceptual approach. With the conceptual decision-making style, I can hold meetings with other members of my staff and brainstorm different solutions to solve the problem. This would ultimately lead to the best and most efficient solution. A manager must be in constant communication with his staff. Lack of communication can lead to misunderstandings and dissatisfied employees. “Communication is the most important skill of every manager.” (About.com) I believe this statement from about.com is absolutely correct. To lead, a leader must communicate his orders to his followers. “Slaves must be submissive to their masters in all things; let them be acceptable, not polemical, not thieves, but show all good faith, so that in everything they adorn the doctrine of God our Savior." (Titus 2:9-10) This verse contains good guidelines on how employees should treat their employers. A manager must respect his employees for being... at the center of the paper... his staff; it should instead use a democratic and permissive management style. This will allow him to be more team oriented. A manager should always honor God in everything he or she does and should not be afraid to fire an employee. Works CitedAbout.com. Management. 2011.
