Match Furniture to Management Style

Ethosource offers an eclectic range of private office systems with materials and features that will harmonize and adapt in any office environment. Here are some tips to get you started choosing office furniture that suits your management style or that of your executives.

Laid-Back

This style empowers employees because it gets team members actively involved in the project’s direction and making decisions. Hands-off leaders provide resources and support when necessary. This style can be quite effective when managing teams of highly skilled, driven individuals. 

Some laid-back executives will forego a corner office to work alongside their employees. Some prefer a traditional cubicle that offers a sense of privacy and independence and a place to concentrate. For others, a glass-walled cubicle makes them feel accessible and avoids giving employees the feeling that their every move is being monitored. 

Authoritarian

At the opposite end of the spectrum, the authoritarian or autocratic executive keeps a tighter rein on employees and projects, controlling most aspects of the job and motivating employees through rewards and penalties. Communication flows one way (from the top down), and team members are expected to follow orders.

A prominent executive desk in the center of a centrally located private office is well-suited to this more hierarchical management style. A modern leather executive chair completes the look, with visitor chairs facing the person behind the desk. 

Democratic

Every project is a collective effort, and democratic leaders take the input of their skilled, highly trained employees into consideration to bring out the best in the team and make the most of their skills. These employees have more responsibility and independence than those working for an authoritarian or autocratic leader. 

IT departments are good examples of departments that are well-suited to the democratic style. However, managers should avoid closed offices unless they have meetings and make client calls that demand privacy. A U-shaped executive desk in a central location is a better option for maintaining a connection to employees.
