Models of Leadership • Leadership models can help us understand: • why leaders act the way they do • which leadership actions are more likely to lead to successful outcomes • Leaders must avoid getting stuck using only one type of model • Different situations call for different leadership approaches Blake and Mouton’s Managerial Grid • Leaders/Managers assessed on two dimensions • Concern for people/relationships • Concern for results and production • Most leaders fall somewhere in the middle of the two axes (dimensions) • Most desirable is the Team Leader style, however elements of the other leadership styles may sometimes be useful in specific situations.
