“蘑菇管理”是針對不熟悉公司理念和一般狀況的職場新人的一種管理方式。新人被分配工作時經常不知道意圖。與之相對應的是“開放式管理”。
Mushroom management means that workers' curiosity and self-expression are not supported. The employees often have no idea what the company's overall situation is, because the leaders tend to make all the decisions on their own, without asking anyone else to give their opinion. This problem can occur when the manager does not understand the employees' work (in a programming company, for example) and therefore cannot communicate effectively with the employees.
按照“蘑菇管理”的方式，員工的好奇心和自我表現不會得到支持。員工也經常不清楚公司的整體狀況，因為公司領導們傾向于自己制定所有決策，不詢問其他任何人的意見。當管理者不明白員工的具體工作(比如在編程公司)時，就會發生這種問題，于是也無法與員工有效溝通。
