What term describes a manager who makes himself visible, being present for employees, and getting out of his office to interact with employees?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Management by walking around describes a manager that doesn't hide in his office and manages by being present among employees.

Answer option A is incorrect. An open door policy allows employees to approach management with problems, suggestions, or other issues.

Answer option C is incorrect. Active management just describes a manager that's involved with employee decision and activities.

Answer option B is incorrect. Progressive discipline is a series of steps of discipline where each step is slightly sterner than the previous.

Isn't that just a fancy way of saying open door policy?

I think I saw a practice question about this, and "management by walking around" was the answer. It makes sense for a visible manager!

I feel like "active management" could fit, but it doesn't quite capture the idea of being physically present with employees.

I remember something about an open door policy, but that seems more about accessibility than actually interacting.

I think the term might be "management by walking around," but I'm not entirely sure. It sounds familiar from our group discussions.

Okay, I got this. The key here is that the administrator is creating a "blueprint" to deploy VMs across multiple clouds. That sounds like a high-level, overarching feature, so the answer must be Service. Profile Actions, Package, and Substrates are more specific components, not the overall feature being described.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I know Nmap can do OS detection, but I'm not familiar with the term "passive OS fingerprinting." I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm confident that service continuity management is the correct answer here. It's the only process in the list that deals with external factors affecting the data center.
