Have you ever thought of ways of get your employees involved in the work arena more? Maybe you have exhausted all your resources just to make them budge. If you are still unsuccessful, maybe it’s about time that you know the different kinds of management styles according to Dr. Renesis Likert, an expert in the human relations field.

The first management style he mentioned is that of the “exploitive – authoritative system”. This is perhaps the worst in terms of employee satisfactory, since this implies threatening the employees just to make them work. A boss who runs the office like this can get a very low score card from his employees. Also, there is little communication and NO teamwork between the employees.
