What is your management Style
Answer Posted / tushar waghode
Depends upon the criticality of the stage the project is,
organization and client culture, the maturity, seniority,
and dependability of the resources working on the project
and the state of the project, like if the project is in
trouble shooting mode or things are going as planned.
It can vary from centralized to consensus. I generally
prefer a consensus management style but with a veto power
(final say) to ensure organization and project interests do
not clash with resource interests.
