The Type B Manager

fullDescription

In The Type B Manager, Victor Lipman offers a unique lens through which to view the challenging problems of management. While management has long been considered the realm of Type A individuals—hard-driving, competitive high achievers—all too often these high-intensity traits aren’t effective when it comes to motivating your employees. Many characteristics of Type B individuals—being more relaxed, less competitive, more reflective, slower to anger—can be considered “people skills” that better influence motivation and productivity. And successful management after all is the practice of accomplishing work through other people.
 
In a business landscape where 70 percent of employees are disengaged and not working at full productive capacity, Lipman focuses on practical tactical aspects of management viewed through a Type B lens, including:
·       Motivating and developing employees
·       Handling conflict, and
·       Engendering trust and respect
 
He examines specific skills, behaviors, and situations where a Type B mindset is advantageous and suggests ways that self-described Type A managers can boost their effectiveness by adopting Type B approaches—and vice versa.

     Think “manager” and you probably
     get a mental image of Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross: a domineering, aggressive, highly stressed executive. Lipman, former manager at a Fortune
     500 company and a Forbes and Psychology Today contributor, wants to change this perception. While the dynamic Type A executive is often perceived as the most accomplished and efficient, Lipman argues that a calm, low-key personality can be just as good, or even better. After being passed over for a promotion because of his not-typically-managerial personality, he created this book to help readers become better managers, no matter their personality types. According to Lipman, “Type B” managers are likely to value relaxation over competitiveness, to create closer and easier relationships, to maintain consistent high standards, and to value earning employee trust and respect. Lipman provides concrete advice on how Type B managers can lead by example, manage challenging employees, and
     navigate conflict—all by utilizing those personality traits historically considered un-leaderly. This is an excellent resource for leaders who don’t fit the mold, and for upper managers who need to fill leadership positions. Agent: Janet Rosen, Sheree Bykofsky Associates.

     One of the common misconceptions in business is that the perfect candidate for management demonstrates the classic attributes of the type A personality: competitive, driven, and demanding. Writer and management consultant Lipman examines core principles from a relational standpoint and reveals that some traits commonly touted as essential for managers actually do more harm than good. In 30 short chapters, the author provides a solid argument that the most successful leaders must also exhibit type B characteristics. Some of these qualities include being risk averse, highly analytical, and willing to listen to others. Filled with case studies, sidebars on management techniques, and bulleted lists of best practices, each chapter also includes a management insight summary. This work expands upon the research presented in Susan Cain's Quiet and Jennifer B. Kahnweiler's The Introverted Leader to provide a solid argument for the importance of thoughtful leadership. VERDICT Lipman's take on the characteristics of a strong leader provides a simple solution to some of the most common employee disengagement issues.--John Rodzvilla, Emerson Coll., Boston

     The hard-driving, competitive personality of Type A managers is essential to business success. Lipman debunks that assumption, arguing that while competitiveness is necessary for success, a manager with a more communicative style and calm demeanor (Type B) is actually more effective. Lipman cites Phil Jackson, the NBA coach known for his Zen management style, and Warren Buffet, known for his modesty and tendency to delegate to those more knowledgeable than himself, as examples of highly effective managers who don't fit the image of the hard-charging executive. He examines the key functions of management and the personality traits needed for effective managers. Lipman points to research showing that people leave managers, not companies. Unhappy employees are less productive than they could be and are more likely to leave if and when they can. And the thing that makes them most unhappy is a domineering, unreasonable boss. Drawing on 24 years as a manager in a Fortune 500 company and research on psychology and management, Lipman offers anecdotes and insight on how to balance drive with the people skills needed to motivate employees to achieve success.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
