Styles of Filipino Managements

First, the realist managers. Who practice management by kayod. Kayod means working hard like an ant,
the type of manager who works da n and day out, fired by an inner zeal that does not make any
difference, between his working days and undays and holidays. His work is his pleasre. His life. Kayod ng
kayod

Secondly, the idealistmanager. Management by Libro. The idealist manager is highly trained professional
who prefers American type of managemety, with technical jargon and all the sophistiaceted tools of
management as if he were operating ibm or standard oil in the Philippines setiing. That is the idealist-
manager or management by libro.

This, opputunist manager. Management by Lusot. Shortchut, bribery, rulebreaker. This type of managers
always wants the least hardship and sweat, paying off problems and taking shortcuts. That is th
opportunist, management by lusot.

Fourth, the re=consider manager. Or Suyod Mangament. In atagalog a comb to take away liec rom the
hair. It strikes that hir precisely and neatly, taking awaly all lice and insects. In other version, we have
expanded this term to mean comprehensiveness, depth, thoroughness, such as suyruing natin ang
kanal, ot lets sweep the canal cean of all dirt, or suyurin natin ang problema. Thet is the reconsider
manager.

KAYOD, Realist Manager

titles.

He works on what men and materials and money has.
He is practical, mabilis.
He cuts problems down to managaeable size. He does ot believe there is a problem that cannot be
solves. At least for today, if it cannot be solves, it is to be tackled later on.
He is apurado,
He is tusi, wise in a shrewd way.

MANAGEMENT BY LIBRO, IDEALIST

He is palaisip, he reflects on problems first before notin g them,\

He is technocrat, he relis on the authority of facts
He is mabusisi, he tends to be process oriritended and so he checks on everything.
Mahilig sa drawing-drawing, he is very planning oriented, and turns to PERT/CPMMay Sistema, he has
sysetems in his style.
He attacks the ttal problem, not just the parts, and therefore appear to be magbagal or slow, his
cautions his critics,
Isip muna bago decide, he deferes all decisios until all the facts are in, he waits for the marketing
analysis,
Matigas ang ulo, he has a definite way of working, he insistson value, procedres
Mataas ang manginip, pangarap.
Per quality yata iyan ESQ. he seeks quality results

MANAGEMENT BY LUSOT

He is galwgawm since he has no definite philosophy or commitments in life, he vacilitates between

people and managaeres, always clingin to the man in the power seat. His loyalty shifts like grains of san
Walang konsensya
Mahilig sa lusot
Mahili sa ayusan, solves problem through compromise, shady deals
Ayaw ng sakit ng ulo , seeks to reduce pressure
Kung walang atik, walang performance
Ang laagay ba

Finally, lets exam

styles

Tatlong mata, parang periscope ng submarine.
Pambihira talaga like Rufina paties
