1.The Person, Process, Product Approaches – Bridging the gap


 

2.Managerial Grid

 

—    A graphic presentation of a two dimensional view of leadership style has been developed by Blake and Mouton

 

—    They proposed a Managerial Grid based on the styles of ‘concern for people’ and ‘concern for production’

 


The grid identified five basic styles of leadership.

 

—    The 9,1 (task management) leader is primarily concerned with production and has little concern of people. This person believes in getting work done at all costs.

 

—    The 1,9 (country club management) leader is primarily concerned with people.

 

—    The 5,5 (middle of the road management) leader represents a moderate concern for both.

 

—    The 9,9 (team management) style demonstrates high concern for both production and people and is therefore the ideal approach to leadership.

 

—    The 1,1 ( impoverished management) has minimum concern for people and production.

 

—    The model is useful to managers in as much as it helps them identify their current styles and develop the most desirable style.

 

—    It seems unlikely that the 9,9 management style is appropriate for organizations experiencing different growth rates, labour relations, competition, and a host of other differentiating problems
