Would anyone who is a manager like to take a survey?

Im asking around to learn about various managing styles and techniques. Thank you.





1. What is the most common form of communication in your organization (email, phone, face-to-face, etc.)? How do you choose it and why?


2. Do you every observe nonverbal signals (body language, facial expressions, etc.)?


3. How do you handle conflict in your organization with other employees?


4. How has your communication style changed since becoming a manager?


5. How is communication different when dealing with other cultures?


6. How do you handle firing an employee?


7. How do you conduct interviews?


8. How do you prepare for and manage meetings?


9. Do you have any advice for a new manager?





Thanks

Would anyone who is a manager like to take a survey?
1. What is the most common form of communication in your organization (email, phone, face-to-face, etc.)? How do you choose it and why?


Face to face, I work with employees and prefer to speak to them individally for a more personal touch.


2. Do you every observe nonverbal signals (body language, facial expressions, etc.)? I do sometime is the the arm cross of boredum or rolling of eyes.


3. How do you handle conflict in your organization with other employees? I speak with everyone involved individually and then decide on the best solution to the problem. I find it better to listen to all sides of the story before attempting to handle the situation.


4. How has your communication style changed since becoming a manager?


I have had to learn to be much calmer and not show my personal feeling but to handle each person the same with no favoritistm


5. How is communication different when dealing with other cultures? I treat everyone the same.


6. How do you handle firing an employee?


With the company I work with we use a 3 write up code of conduct so upon recieving the 3 write up I inform them of the problem and their immediate termination.


7. How do you conduct interviews?


I like to see what the person expects of the job and what they think I expect of them. First impressions are key.


8. How do you prepare for and manage meetings?


I like to be fully prepared for all meetings. I like to have anything that I need to present on paper to keep me from forgetting any important information.


9. Do you have any advice for a new manager?


Treat employees the way you want to be treated, you never know when they may outrank you. Never show favorites treat everyone as an equal.
