Analyze grid positions of managerial grid


Case Scenario:

While there have been numerous attempts over the years to explain leadership and described who a leader actually is some of the more popular and well-known behavioral approaches have argued that leadership is multidimensional. In the mid-1960s to theorist by the name of Blake and Mouton develop a theory they labeled the Managerial Grid. These two theorist argued that there were two primary behavioral dimensions of leaders, one was a concern for production and the other was a concern for people (Johnson, 2005). Based upon these two concerns this model argues that leadership styles are not fixed and not only based upon one's personality, and the model assumes that a leaders behavior are changing and flexible.
