2. William Reddin’s 3-d Theory of Managerial Effectiveness
Research on Leadership style models are usually based on orientation between Task
behavior & Human Relationship behavior.
Basically, knowing these leadership styles helps us in adopting them in different
situations. Though there could be one predominant leadership style as a whole for a
person, he/she cannot just stick on to a particular leadership style always. Switching
between the leadership styles is necessary in different project management situations to
achieve success.
Like Hersey & Blanchard Situational Leadership model, William Reddin introduced a
model of leadership style containing four basic types, namely:
1. High relationship orientation & high task orientation, called INTEGRATED TYPE.
2. High relationship orientation & low task orientation, called RELATED TYPE.
3. Low relationship orientation & high task orientation, called DEDICATED TYPE.
4. Low relationship orientation & low task orientation, called

SEPARATED TYPE.

Further, by measuring the level of effectiveness of each style Reddin developed this
basic model into eight leadership styles. The modified model is called “The 3-D Theory
of Managerial Effectiveness.”
