Managerial Style Questionnaire

Everyone has met – or even been managed by – the manager from hell. But what are the factors that set good managers apart? Can a manager’s style raise performance, productivity and profits significantly? Yes! Our research shows that by taking the right approach in a given situation, a manager can really improve employee morale and performance.

Managers can use the Managerial Style Questionnaire (MSQ) to:

• Assess which of the six management styles (Directive, Visionary Affiliative, Coaching, Democratic, and Pacesetting) they use most frequently
• Get tips on when a particular style is more - or less - effective
• Gather feedback from their team members by using the feedback questionnaire
• Identify the differences between their own and others' perceptions - and reflect on what they want to do about those differences
• Use alongside the Organizational Climate Exercise to provide the bigger picture of their managerial behavior and impact
