I'm 21, yes Right on the border. But I feel this quiz is rather limiting. I manage a lot of types where an iron fist 24/7 will get you nothing, but I know that sometimes I have to twist the thumb screws in order to meet deadlines and they will oblige.
I give my employees a wide birth and there's no way I can be successful in my job if I take on everything my self or if I micro manage everything, there's not enough hours in the day. But I do require precision and efficiency. I manage people in 6 time zones, one of those time zones is 1 hour ahead another is one hour behind and another is 12 hours ahead. I need people to work independently but I also need things be done right because if it's not I may be waiting 12 hours before some one is able to fix it or if it's mission critical, I'm waking some one up at 2 AM Saturday morning or telling them to get in the office after a night of binge drinking and greasy food.
We operate on an overlapping 7 year time table and 7 years may seem like a long time but there are markers and milestones and in and each part is connected to other processes that can't begin until another process is completed. And when things go great we get London and when things fall apart, you get Green Swimming Pools in Rio. And sometimes you can do everything right and end up with a mess like Sochi. So in an ideal world we all collaborate but when you think globally you have to rely on what works, and if that doesn't work any more, you gotta figure out why it's not working any more and change it. If something doesn't work, you just got to fix it. Sometimes you can collaborate, and other times we just have to tell people what to do.
