A variety of management and Leadership styles exist for Leadership roles, but each individual utilizes a unique style to get work done. Successful leaders appreciate the importance of understanding the pros and cons of various Leadership approaches, their impact on the people they command, and the anticipated results.
This presentation highlights a detailed overview of the Blake-Mouton Managerial Grid, a Leadership model developed by Robert R. Blake and Jane Mouton. The model is a product of research at Exxon to improve the effectiveness of their Leadership. This grid provides a method to understand more about various Leadership styles and how they work, and is useful in understanding a leader's innate style, and pinpoint the skills they lack.
The Blake Mouton Managerial Grid model is based on 2 behavioral dimensions—Concern for People and Concern for Results—and encompasses 5 core Leadership styles:
1. The Impoverished (or Indifferent) Style
2. The Country Club (or Accommodating) Style
3. The Produce or Perish (or Dictatorial) Style
4. The Middle-of-the-Road (or Status Quo) Style
5. The Team (or Sound) Style
The Blake-Mouton Managerial Grid suggests that when concern for both people and results is high employee engagement and productivity stands out.
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT delves into the intricacies of the Managerial Grid Model, breaking down leadership behavior into seven key managerial behaviors. It emphasizes the importance of understanding human behavior in management, drawing on theories from Maslow and McGregor. The presentation also provides templates for practical application, making it a valuable resource for leaders aiming to enhance their management skills and drive organizational success.

This PPT slide presents an overview of the "Impoverished Management" style, characterized by a lack of concern for both people and results. It highlights that managers who adopt this approach are often ineffective and disengaged. They show minimal interest in developing practices that facilitate task completion or foster a supportive team environment. The work produced under this management style tends to be subpar, failing to meet organizational standards, which can lead to frustration among team members who lack the necessary guidance to perform their roles effectively.
The slide further explains that these managers often prioritize self-preservation over accountability. They may use their position to avoid trouble rather than drive progress, resulting in a sluggish decision-making process that stifles innovation. This behavior can create a toxic atmosphere, marked by inefficiency, discontent, and conflict within the team. The lack of proactive leadership not only undermines team morale, but also hinders overall organizational performance.
For potential customers, this analysis serves as a cautionary tale. Understanding the implications of impoverished management can help organizations identify and address these behaviors before they become entrenched. The insights provided can guide leaders in evaluating their management styles and encourage them to adopt more effective approaches that prioritize both team engagement and performance outcomes. Recognizing the signs of this management style can be the first step toward fostering a healthier, more productive work environment.
