"Indeed, compared to strong-style management, collaborative management more time-consuming," Ibarra said, "However, communication is the cornerstone of performance management, a strong organization under the leadership of a lack of communication and interaction, is bound to affect the effective implementation of decisions ; On the contrary, collaborative management to encourage communication, to encourage staff to play their respective strengths to achieve common business goals. After all, business decisions can not rely on the generation and implementation manager. "
