Is management by intimidation an effective tool?

Answer:
yes


As long as you don't mind destroying your organization. Intimidation is used in sports to generate fear and get opponents off of their game. Is that really where you want your employees to be - scared and under-performing? It is a bad management technique that is on its way out. Motivate - not intimidate!
