Ordnung muss sein - 1 If you ask me to describe my leadership style with one sentence, I`ll say "Ordnung muss sein". This German phrase means “order must prevail”. Related to leadership style for me it means that whenever I know what is the appropriate behavior in a situation, I want to you follow it. I`m not a stress-manager or an innovative manager and I can act as a good manager in a well-known sphere, where I have my personal experience. So first of all, I get my experience, my knowledge, then I teach my staff and after that I can check if employees behave in a proper manner. Let me give you an example. There was one year when I got promoted 3 times and ended up as a Deputy FOM in 4*hotel in the city center. At that time I already had a 2 years experience in hospitality and that`s why I knew the procedures, I knew the guests staying in the hotel, I knew how to teach new employees. And I enjoyed that process! But please understand me correctly. You need to follow what I say. Because I know better. And I expect that from my staff, I expect them to be as honest, hard-working, enthusiastic and reliable as I am. I am ready to lead by example and that`s extremely difficult for me to be a superior of lazy non-motivated people. I`m lost when I need to manage those who don`t want to work, those who`d better polish their nails during work time! You may say that I`m kind of stubborn and non-flexible. Well, I just want everything to be in order as per my view I know I`m not an innovative leader and whenever my manager used to come up with new ideas I didn`t say “Let`s give it a try” but “that is not going to work out“. I expected myself being very straight and not to adopt my leadership style to changing surrounding but my opinion has changed a bit. During my project preparation, I was asked to complete a questionnaire to identify my leadership style. And I was surprised that my result shows that I use 2 or even 3 different leadership styles. We usually consider democratic style to be contrary to authoritative, but they are just different. I`ll give some examples based on my leadership experience in TM.
