1. A Self-Test of our Management Skill
Let us determine first how effective
we are in the performance of our job
as supervisors or managers by
honestly putting ourselves in the
matrix in the next slide.

4. • After evaluating ourselves in the grid,
We now reveal our management
strengths and weaknesses.
• In order to be effective in management
our track must be along the ideal not
along the axes.
• If we are off-tract? To further enhance
our management skills

5. • If our tendency is to go along the
horizontal, we might be better off as a
specialist with no subordinates. If it is
along the vertical, we are more fitted to
work on human relations intensive jobs
whose work outputs do not require
much involvement to other resources.

6. If our path is along the ideal, we are doing fine.
Every now and then , we should check our
standing vis-à-vis the management
effectiveness grid so that we can rectify
ourselves not to deviate so much away from
the ideal.
