‘Great managers also develop a variety of people interaction skills that help them get the most out of the people within their organizations. The very best of these managers don’t describe themselves as having a specific “style” but rather understand that they might need to employ any number of approaches to motivate certain individuals. Some people respond best to terse descriptions and matter-of-fact approaches, whereas others prefer a bit of nurturing and emotional support. Some people need a task master and still others a den mother.’
