Errors in perception prevent managers from framing the right problem. With the wrong problem framed, the wrong solutions are solved.
Douglas McGregor developed Theory X and Theory YAccording to McGregor, there are the following two types of managers:• Theory X managers - These managers believe that most of the people are self-centered, are only motivated by their physiological and safety needs, and are indifferent to the needs of the organization they work for. They (usually the team) lack ambition and have very little creativity and problem-solving capacity. As a result, they dislike their work and will try to avoid it. They will also avoid taking responsibility and initiative. There is one word to describe Theory X managers: distrust. They distrust their employees. These managers, therefore, tend to be authoritarian.• Theory Y managers - As opposed to Theory X managers, Theory Y managers trust their employees. They believe that most of the people are high performers in a proper work environment. This is because most of the people are creative and committed to meeting the needs of the organization they work for. Theory Y managers also believe that most people like to take responsibility and initiative and are self-disciplined. Finally, they also believe that most people are motivated by all levels of needs in the Maslow's hierarchy of needs. These managers tend to provide more freedom and opportunity for career growth.Trivia:Given the same team and same work environment, a Theory Y Manager's team will perform better and deliver better quality work product than the team managed by the Theory X Manager. The reason is simple. People hate authority and in most cases rebel
Unfortunately this is not possible. I had the same problem about ten years ago. The Department of Work and Pensions in Newcastle, are the only people that have the authority to issue a replacement.
Armchair error is when someone sits in his/her office and makes decision based on the findings and data received from other people. Instead of actually going and looking at the problem and then solving it, people sit in the comfortable boardroom chairs and try to find a solution for the existing problems.(written by Shirlene Sanam Ram from the Fiji Islands). Please feel free to improve my answer. By committing this common mistake, managers have the tendency to to jump to conclusions without properly finding out the real causes of the problem at hand.
The answer to an addition problem is the sum of the problem.
Some managers don't delegate because they feel like only they can do the job right. This hurts small businesses because it limits their capabilities.

Problem either of one type or other is faced by everyone at various points of time.But one thing is sure that if there is a problem then there is its solution and if there is a solutuion then there is a solution provider also.We now a days call this solution provider a manager.Manager doesn't do any thing but instead it provides a way to act so that the problem can be dealt with. So managers can be viewed as a life's problem solver.In other words a manager is responsible for making people enjoy the facilities,provided with there involvement.So its obivious that a manager is not himself a facility enjoyer.Managers have to utilise the available resources optimally to produce a solution of any current problem in question. Many a times its our mismanagement which causes us a problem,so by making an arrangement to counter that mismanagement will provide the solution,and this particular work is done by managers. This leads us to make a statement that managers are in some way facility arrangers instead of themselves enjoying it. If ever managers will start only enjoying the facilities then who will be concerned with life's problem which are to be reprensented by someone(managers) to resolve it.The main purpose of a manager is to provide a framework which is problem resistant. So this point should be kept in mind that- "Managers should be life's problem solver not facility enjoyer"

Organizational behavior helps managers understand what motivates employees. With this information, managers can help employees work harder and meet their goals, which resolves some practical issues.
Opinions may vary. One challenge that faced managers is making the right decision to a tough problem given a limited time.
Risk management culture is one of the biggest challenges facing finance managers in the modern age. Also, data management seems to be a recurring problem.
