Management X-Y theory:: Its all about initiate , innovate and improvise.

"My Manager does not know anything about management, he does not even know how to create a good work environment ." This statement is very common across the globe and at some point we all have said it.
We often thinks its because of a process of Management, may be that is how Management works.
But here a little more science and logic is involved when the term "Management" is used.

Let me explain the concept in detail.

There are two kinds of managers 

1) X Manager (X-Theory)

2) Y Manager (Y-Theory)

So world looks pretty simple.... X manager is bad manager and Y manger is good manager.
But one big problem is here.... in an organization there is not just managers but other people...lets call them "workers".
Their can be two kinds of workers

1) Good worker --- who likes their work, self motivated .

2) Bad worker------ who does not like their work,Lazy people.

Now we have four possible working scenario. 

Quadrant  1 – This situation can act as a slow poison to the organization.This type of work culture leads to degradation of the workers will to work hard.This might affect his performance and make him to develop an indifferent attitude towards the organizations interest and goals.

Quadrant  4 – This situation is the best one.Its workers are not lazy and are also rewarded by their managers for their hard work.The manager here is hopeful and always motivates his or her workers.These type of organizations have a very healthy work culture leading to on time target achievement by the workers.

Quadrant  2 – This case can be a major cause of concern to the organizations growth .Organizations having such scenarios are not long race players and might fail completely.

Quadrant 3 – In this case the managers might be able to motivate the workers to better performance  by giving them various incentives .This may lead to the smooth working and good performance delivery by the organization.

 Now which Quadrant is the best management ? Fairly simple to choose , the Quadrant 4.
Good manager and good worker scenario, freedom,motivation is there .The Best Management strategy possible.

But does that mean that other management strategies are not good ??The one problem that i see in this example is universal acceptance about workers behavior i.e. either they all are good or all are bad.But this is not true any group of people. there will be mix of good and bad workers.
So the Point i want to put forward is a management in not a rigid process , its a flexible process. And a manager needs to understand the variety of people in his group.A manager needs to "Initiate , Innovate and Improvise " to get best out of his workers.
As far as my personal experience goes, i have bean part of Quadrant 1 but i have with managers who were ready to improvise and made exception whenever necessary. 

I believe Management is not a  game of  "Marathon Running " but its a game of  "Chess" where each and every piece (worker)  irrespective of its stature should be handled carefully to fully utilized its ability,
