We have seen the different management styles used by managers in section 6 of this chapter.
我们在章节1.6中已经学习过管理者会用到的不同管理模式。

Which management style is the most effective?
哪一种管理模式最具成效呢？

In fact there is no right or wrong answer to this question as there are positive and negative aspects to each style.
其实这一问题没有肯定的答案，因为每种管理模式都有利有弊。

Effective management is about being flexible and adopting different styles for specific circumstances as response to the environment.
实行有效的管理意味着要灵活变通、针对具体情况采用不同的方式来回应外界环境。

The right style to adopt will depend largely to the situation in hand, the company culture and structure, manager’s personal background as well as the employees’ characteristics.
采用的管理方式是否合适，很大程度上取决于现有的情况、公司文化及组织结构、管理者的个人背景和员工们的特征。

The company culture and structure is one of the most important aspects in adopting the adequate style for success. If the adopted style does not fit the company values then disaster is inevitable.
想要成功地选择适合的方式，公司文化及组织结构是需要考虑的一个最重要的方面。如果采用不适合公司理念的管理方式，灾难就不可避免了。

While democratic style management might be more suitable in flat organizations with fewer levels of management, laissez faire style can be disastrous in an organization with several layers of management.
民主式管理可能更适于管理层级少的扁平组织，放任式管理则会让管理层级多的公司发生灾难。

The manager’s personal background may limit adopting a different style. Managers’ personality, knowledge, attitude, feelings and experiences can largely influence the application of these styles.
管理者的个人背景可能会对他采用不同方式产生局限，其性格、知识、态度、情绪、经验则对实际运用的情况有着很大影响。

A manager with an experience in smaller structures may have difficulties in involving a team approach in resolving problems and adopt an autocratic style in a larger company where this can lead to a resistance by the employees.  
在组织结构小的公司有过工作经验的管理者，可能会在团队合作处理问题时遇到困难，而在大公司采用指令式的管理模式会引起员工的反感。

Employee characteristics often limit which management styles a manager can effectively adopt.
员工的特征往往也会限制管理者实际采用的管理方式。

For large departments with new and inexperienced employees the autocratic and bureaucratic styles can be more suitable.
如果大部门里都是没有经验的职场新人，指令式和官僚式的管理风格会比较合适。

Employees’ experiences, skills and abilities may also affect the styles chosen by the manager.
员工的经验、技巧和能力也会影响管理者所选择的方式。

I would like to summarize this section with a quote from Ken Blanchard, an expert in leadership development.
在这里我想引用领导力发展发面的专家肯·布兰查德的一句名言作为总结

The key to successful leadership today is influence not authority.
现如今，成功的领导力关键在于影响力，而不是权威。
