Hands-on management

Hands-on management is a particular style of management where the manager or person in charge is particularly active in day-to-day business and leadership.[1][2][3] It is not to be confused with micromanagement and is seen as the opposite of Laissez-faire management style.

Purpose

[edit]

Hands-on includes traits and actions such as:[4][5]

  • Understanding of the business and shows interest
  • Informed but passive with ideas
  • Follows up on agreed decisions

The opposite to hands-on is a hands-off manager or management style.[4]
