Every manager must have a set of principles, values ​​and core beliefs that he must follow. These principles, values ​​and beliefs constitute its management philosophy.

I will also discuss the different biblical beliefs that support my management style. I believe in a directive and conceptual decision-making style. When there is a small problem that needs a quick solution, I would use the directive decision style. This would be similar to an issue I have dealt with in the past. For larger obstacles that come my way, I would take the conceptual approach. With the conceptual decision-making style, I can hold meetings with other members of my team and brainstorm different solutions to solve the problem. This would eventually lead to the best and most efficient solution. A manager must be in constant communication with his staff.

(Titus 2:9-10) This verse contains good guidelines for how employees are supposed to treat their employers. A manager must respect his employees in order to be ...... middle of paper ...... his staff; rather, it should use a democratic and permissive management style. This will allow him to be more team oriented. A manager should always honor God in everything he does and should not be afraid to fire an employee.Works CitedAbout.com. Management. 2011.
