YOUR MANAGEMENT STYLE
The Controller
Nothing slips past you, including your best people’s patience.
You keep a close eye on the work: detailed instructions, frequent check-ins, decisions routed through you. It keeps quality high, but capable people can read it as a lack of trust, and judgement doesn’t grow in a team that only follows steps.
Your strengths
Reliable delivery, attention to detail and clear standards.
Watch out for
Strong performers may feel watched rather than supported, and quietly look elsewhere.
