1: Use the Argosy University online library and the Internet to research literature on Blake and Mouton’s Management Grid. According to this Management Grid, leadership is an interaction between two variables: tasks and people. What are the various interactions possible between these two variables? What does each interaction predict about the leader? How can leaders use this grid to maximize productivity? How can leaders use this grid to maximize their employee orientation? Discuss any other possible applications of this grid.
2: Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Style Approach with respect to its contribution to the study of leadership and its application in the real world. Provide examples of the strengths and weaknesses you analyzed. Do you think that the strengths outweigh the weaknesses or vice versa? Why or why not? Provide a rationale and examples to support your response.
