Country Club management
Care and concern for the people, with a comfortable and friendly
environment and collegial style. But a low focus on task may give
questionable results.
Middle of the road management
A weak balance of focus on both people and the work. Doing enough to
get things done, but not pushing the boundaries of what may be
possible.
Team management

committed to people (as well as task).

and the Ohio State Leadership Studies. Many other task-people models

dimensions, but as other models point out, they are not all there is to
leadership and management.
The Managerial Grid was the original name. It later changed to the
Leadership Grid.
