Managerial From Blake and Mouton

One of the famous effort in order to identify the leadership style of management is called managerial grids. This effort was conducted by Robert R. Blake and Jane S. Mouton. The managerial grid approach the manager related into two things, namely the production on the one hand and people on the other hand. As desired by Blake and Mouton, managerial grids here emphasize how managers think about production and employment relationships.

According to Blake and Mouton, there are four leadership styles that are classified as an extreme style, while the other one is in the midst of these extreme style. Managerial leadership style among others, as follows:

Grid 1. Manager very little effort to think about the people who worked with him, and production should be produced by his organization. In this grid the manager act as an intermediary that only confirm information from superiors to subordinates.
 

Grid 2. Managers have a high sense of responsibility to consider both the production and the people who worked with him. He tried to plan all its efforts to constantly think about her dedication to the production and fate of the people who work in the organization. Manager which includes this grid can be said to be "team manager". He was able to integrate the production needs with the needs of the people in his organization.
 

Grid 3. This style of leadership have a high sense of responsibility to always think about the people who work in the organization. But thinking about the low production. Such managers are often called the leader of the club (the Country club management), managers are trying to create an atmosphere that everyone working bias relaxed, friendly, and happy to work within the organization. In this atmosphere there is no single person who want think about coordinating efforts to achieve organizational goals.
 

Grid 4. This is sometimes referred to a managers who perform tasks in an autocratic manner (autocratic task managers). This manager just thinking about the need to increase the efficiency of the work implementation, have no or only little sense of responsibility to the people who work in their organization, further his leadership style is showing his autocracy.
 

Grid 5. In this case the manager has a medium of thought on production and on the people. He tried to create and build a moral people who work in organizations , and the production of an adequate level, not too flashy. He did not create the target is too high so it is difficult to achieve, and kindly encourage people to work better.

This fifth grids are very useful for knowing and recognizing the various styles of manager.

Leadership is a process by which leaders can influence subordinates / others, so that subordinates / others are willing to do what is desired by the them. Style of leadership means the way which used in influencing subordinates or other people.
