Clash of leadership

Lisa

I’m looking for advice if possible.

There are two managers within a team who have different management styles, one will challenge when needed and push for the best results and ensure that everyone is doing their job and trying to maintain a target. The other is much more laidback, is friendly with his team and will dig around to ensure they meet targets.

They are clashing as the manager who will challenge is doing so around the work place to ensure that she is getting the agents to work however the other won’t! Both are protective of their teams as a manager will be.

I’m at a loss now as it is bringing an atmosphere to the workplace.

    I am not entirely clear how this problem manifested itself. Is one of them over stepping the mark and managing the other persons team? Or is it more the teams observing the two styles and getting confused?

    If both styles work then you need to be clear what the desired outcome is. Different styles can be equally effective and get the best out of people.

    It may be as simple as their manager ( not HR) sitting down with them both and having a chat about their different styles and how they can best work together and not confuse the teams.
