Management Styles of Decision Makers - II

Hasan A. Yahya, Professor of Sociology & Administration

In this article thinking and linguistic styles are explained among school staff: (instructors, principals, teachers and supervisors),  their thinking styles and their linguistic terminology is clear. They are interested to ask questions about the subject matter. They ask students to sit, to stop talking, to listen, to read, to write, and to give examples. But they are more militaristic in their terminology by using commands, come, go, stand up, and sit down. As managers, they ask about who will do ….? What …? Where….? And when….and How?  Their abilities can be seen also in the following:

To know the time: When did?  Time is important to know about certain events. Because sometimes, the environment has something to do with the problem. In this case, executives look for outside causes may contribute to the problem. To reduce its impact, or to increase its perception from those who told the story. 

To know about the place, they ask: Where that happened? Place is  important in the executive mind, whether the event or the problem was happened in a hostile or friendly place.

To describe: What did? What is done? What is the exact event? Description of the event is important in order to understand what happened.

 To know: How did? The way how the event was done or how the problem was built is important information to executives in the process of making decisions to solve it.

 In general, the above categories share questions in the process of collecting information about certain event or problem, such as: who ask about? who did this? When it was happened? What was happened? And How it  happened? Instructors and school staff are interested to understand the problem instead of scape-goating some one or taking the wrong decision. They ask for briefing and verifying the information from students as it happened. (318 words) www.hasanyahya.com
