The managerial grid is to identify the leadership styles of people based on two general criteria. Are they more concerned about the people they are managing, or are they more concerned about the production line.

This concept was developed by, Robert Blake and Jane Mouton in 1964.

Here, you put the concern for production in one axis and the concern for people in the other axis. Both of the concerns are rated on a nine point scale, then they can be place in anywhere inside the grid there are 81 places where a person can be put in, but for the sake of simplicity, there are five categories.

In the grid, the five general categories are following.

1,1 management style. That is, impoverished management style also known as indifferent management style.

These people are not that concerned about what they are producing and not even concerned about making the work environment better for the employees working there.

The workforce will not be motivated to work, the production process will not be in harmony and it is easy to see that this is the worst management style.

9,1 style. Also known as authority compliance management also known as produce or perish style of management. These managers do not care at all about the people working in the organization. The only thing they care about is production.

These are the managers who are more likely to have a quota set on the employees and if it is not met, the employees will be punished. And if it is met, the employees will be rewarded, mostly with money. They don’t think much of their subordinates and they believe only extrinsic factors are likely to motivate the employees.

The production is likely to be high with a manager like this one in the beginning, but, well the employees morale will not be that high for that long, and production might suffer in that case.

5,5 management style, also known as - middle of the road management style. Moderate concern for people and moderate concern for production. They will try to strike a balance between the both. These people try to be diplomatic and it might seem like a good idea to be in a position like this one, but, If you think about it, your employees are not actually that happy, eh. And the output you get is also not that great. Then again, 55 is still better than 11.

1,9 management style, Country club management style. Allso known as accommodating management style. Trying to make your employees happy all the time and not thinking about the production that much. The main idea these types of managers have is that if the employees are happy, then they will work for the betterment of the company.

The resulting work environment is going to be quite fund, easy going and friendly. The employees are likely to be happy here, but, without any emphasis on the other side the productivity will suffer.

The last one is 9,9 - team management style, and it is easy to see that this one is the best option out of everything else. So, high priority on the people and high priority on the production process. These types of managers will include the employees in the work process more, hence the name. the employees are also likely to be more motivated since they will feel that they are an important part of the decision making process.

The manager is working hard to meet all the needs of the workers and they also demand that the subordinates work hard to meet the production needs

You can use this grid to find out where exactly does your leadership style is going to fall in. are you here, or here. And if needed, you need to change your approach of management method.

Two different types of managerial styles were added by Blake himself later on. One is paternalistic management. They will be somewhere in this line. They will be good to the employees as long as the employees are doing exactly what they were told to do. Otherwise it’s a different situation.

Another one is opportunistic management style. This type of manager is not going to care about employees or the production. The only thing they will care about will be themselves. They will try to manipulate anything and anyone in order to get their way.

There have been some criticisms of the managerial grid as well. The main criticism being, it is too simplistic. There are other things than employee and production that managers can think about.
