Managers come in all shapes and sizes. There are the "dictator" types, "gentle" types, "bitaw" or micro-manager types. I'm really interested in the humanistic types. These are bosses who bring out the best in people by giving them respect and treating them as partners in the enterprise.
I wrote a couple of columns for Manila Times on this theme:
Employers and labor can think like partners
Business and people development
I'm now in the process of searching for humanistic Filipino managers who are able to balance people development and financial results as well as Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines, Horst Schulze of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel and William Pollard of ServiceMaster. I have some leads and I'll report here what I find out out. I'll be happy to get leads from readers.
