The effectiveness of a style is to be proved by its efficacy in producing desired results (Bratton & Gold, 2017). Theoretically, it has been proposed that here is a dependency relationship between employees’ performance and the proper match of the leaders’ and the employees’ input.

Discussion and description of selected management styles Affiliative management style This type is management is the type where the leader seeks to boost cooperation among the employees by solving their disputes and differences. He helps them in forming a team and emphasizes on team work.

It has been observed that this style promotes harmony and connection among the team members and is thus good for promoting team spirit (Igbal et al 2015). This makes it very suitable for growing organization, where team work is essential or the members need to be trained on importance of team work. This is not good at all for growing the employees’ management skills and also decision making techniques since it lacks involvement.

Coaching management Style This is the style where the leader mentors the subordinates to build a team.

He or she makes the decision solely but with feedback from the subordinates, and guides them on various things to nurture their skills and enhance their personal growth professionally (Klingner et al 2015). Everyone is given an opportunity to air their opinions, which are put into consideration by the leader. This means that the leader or manager has a wide base of information to help in decision making. This is a very huge advantage over other styles. Again, this style is relevant and useful for a wide range of applications. Organizations at any stage of growth can benefit from this style. Iqbal, N. , Anwar, S. , & Haider, N.
