| Expert's management style is based on transparency, team building, goal-oriented, metrics-driven, managing risk and entrepreneurial. He strongly believes that team spirit-based vision & pleasant working atmosphere are the keys to success. Within his group, everybody has his/her specific assignments, which encourages taking initiative. Expert focus' on the positive things and appreciate the team members who are doing well. There is no doubt that any organization, unfortunately, has some so-called "less-active members". With his management style, the less active members will automatically improve their performance to match the extreme. To make a decision: 1) I identify the problem and the goals 2) Gather necessary information that is directly related to the problem and weighing the options 3) Consider the consequences 4) Make the decision and evaluate it. To prioritize his activities (Important vs Urgent): 1) I define my SMART goals and write them down 2) TO-DO list with all the activities and projects that he has to do 3) On a scale of 1-5 (5 is highly important) Expert assigns importance to each activity 4) Evaluates each activity’s urgency (1-5), then plots each activity on the matrix according to the values given to it. |
