managerial grid

    0.01 sec.

managerial grid

Tool aiming to identify an individual's management style. The managerial grid was invented by US academics Robert Blake and Jane Mouton. The grid helps people see themselves and those they work with more clearly, to understand their interactions and to identify sources of conflict and resistance.

On the grid, concern for production is represented on a one to nine scale on the horizontal axis (x-axis). Concern for people is represented on a one to nine scale on the vertical axis (y-axis). A score of nine on the x-axis and one on the y-axis, represented by the coordinates (9,1), indicates someone with a low concern for people and a high concern for task completion.

Blake and Mouton developed the concept of the Managerial Grid while working together at the University of Texas, and their ideas were tested and developed through the implementation of an organisational development programme in the American oil corporation Exxon.
Another application of this perspective is the managerial grid developed by Blake and Mouton (1964).
We shift from manager to leader and back, move people around the Managerial Grid and the Situational Leadership quadrants, hire more MBA's or less MBA's and introduce "excellence" and "pop" psychology.
