Down with management, the first step up management also need to know upper management. But unlike in the management down to the type and characteristics of technical personnel to carry out the analysis for upper management, our primary entry point is their management style.
Interpersonal style analysis on the industry there is a DISC personality test model. DISC personality test is a test of foreign enterprises is widely used for measurements, assess and help people improve their behavior, relationships, job performance, teamwork, leadership style. DISC personality test group consists of 24 adjectives described personality traits, each comprising four adjective, these adjectives are dominant (Dominance, D), impact resistance (Influence, I), stability (Steadiness, S) according to analytical and (Compliance, C) measured four dimensions as well as some of the interference dimensions selected, choose the one best suited to the requirements and least suited to their own adjectives.
FIG DISC of the tests show, by way of the four-quadrant model. Upper management to show their own personality through both inbound and outbound two dimensions, but the focus was on the people and things in general. We can see through the combined two by two, the manager's style can be demonstrated by the DISC model.
For Dominance managers, like command others, energetic work, plain and simple talk, faster, and even sharply. When the adventurous, crisp decisions, while others make decisions slowly, often seem impatient, even given pressure. At the same time, work-oriented, results-oriented, and have a strong sense of time.
Effects of type managers, monotonous, systematic, logical thing offensive, emotional ups and downs, great changes, emotional easily show it. Chatty, sometimes not cut theme, will be beside the point, tone of voice and volume vary greatly enrich his face, and often gestures and body to strengthen the effect. Often the first to propose a new plan, like telling people things, make decisions and crisp.
Stability managers pay more attention to human. In solving interpersonal problems, most Care, put yourself in others' shoes. Care more about other people's comments, reactions and ideas. Facial expressions and eyes are very friendly, easy-going attitude, without attacking mean, flexible time schedule. Relatively silent at meeting, it is easy to tie the views of others, not take the initiative to make a decision.
Analytical management style can often be inaccurate, there are analytical, discreet, humble, mature, patient, rigorous and so on to describe. Good definition, classification, access to information and test, to find the facts and maintain high standards. He is a comprehensive problem solver, responsible and robust and reliable.
From Figure 9 we can see each type of management style point of interest is not the same, but they also have a different emotional reaction. Standing technical managers point of view, their faces often do not understand the technical field or even fully understand the upper management, by understanding their style, the next thing is communication and seek feedback and guidance from the communication , on the one hand to enhance their influence, we must also promote the establishment of upper management in line with the development team to hang where style subconsciously.
Up above management thinking there is more difficult to implement, after all power rests in the hands of upper management. We want to get the trust of upper management, and implementation of management thought up, need to bear the brunt of the control point is results-oriented and management by objectives.
