Which do you think is more effective, Task Centered management or Employee Centered management? Why?

Answer 1

If you are a manager, you better pay attention to both those aspects of the work, and other aspects as well.

Ultimately, it is people who will make the company succeed or fail, so you better concentrate on getting the right people, training them well, supporting them by doing things for them that are needed but which they cannot do for themselves, providing them with recognition, and giving them freedom to do their jobs.

If you only concentrate on the tasks, things may go well for a while, but you'll eventually crash and burn - you can't do it all yourself, and your employees won't care enough to do it themselves.

Answer 2

You have to have a combination of both. You want to make sure tasks get done, but if you don't value your employees then you won't have anyone to complete the tasks.
