Question 1 (Management Styles)

After reading the Jack text Ch. 1 and completing Assessment Tool #25 (from the Bloom text), describe your personality and management styles. Then describe a situation in which you, or a manager/supervisor you have had, used a particular management style and whether it was the appropriate style to use (was it effective or not) and why. If not, would another style have been more effective and why?

Question 2 (Decision-Making)

After reading the Jack text Ch. 7 and completing Assessment Tool #7 (from the Bloom text), describe a situation that involved decision-making. Was inclusive decision-making used? If not, should the process have been inclusive? Why or why not?
