Breaking Down Leadership Styles and Management Theory

Are you feeling uncertain about questions regarding management theories and leadership styles that might show up on the RD Exam?

While you may not jump into a managerial role right away, you never know when the opportunity will come knocking at your day. Even if you aren't a manager, you're a leader in nutrition and play a big role in sharing credible, nutrition information to other professionals, patients, and clients.

Having an understanding of management not only sets you up for success on the exam, it also gives you an understanding of the role of management and also gets you thinking about the type of manager you'd like to be one day.

In this episode of the RD Exam Made Easy Podcast, you'll learn:

1) The differences between autocratic, democratic, and bureaucratic leadership styles
2) The hierarchy that can happen in larger organizations
3) An overview of the Mintzberg’s Managerial Theory.

No matter what you end up doing, whether you work for someone and have a boss or you own a company and are the boss, being mindful of how you conduct yourself and the type of leader you are makes a huge difference no only to people you work with but also to your customers.

If you want to feel confident and comfortable with management and leadership concepts, this episode is for you.
