Question
Which of the following management styles is NOT used in Blake and Mouton’s managerial grid?
A Autocratic
B Impoverished
C Country club management
D Team management
Answer
A
Explanation:
Blake and Mouton’s managerial grid evaluates leadership styles based on two dimensions: concern for people and concern for task (production). The grid includes styles such as impoverished (low concern for both), country club management (high concern for people, low for task), team management (high concern for both), and others. Autocratic, which implies a controlling, directive style, is not a specific category in the grid, as it does not align with the grid’s focus on people-task balance. Thus, A is the correct answer.
