In the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid, a manager rated 9,1 on the grid (concern for production, concern for people) is best described as which type?

A 9,1 manager shows authority-compliance management. The first figure is concern for production, here at the maximum, and the second is concern for people, here at the minimum. The manager stresses efficiency and output while paying little attention to employee needs and morale.

  1. AImpoverished management
  2. BCountry club management
  3. CAuthority-compliance managementCorrect
  4. DTeam management

Explanation

On the grid the first number is concern for production and the second is concern for people. A 9,1 rating means very high production concern and very low people concern, called authority-compliance or task management. Country club is 1,9, impoverished is 1,1 and team management is 9,9. Reversing the numbers would wrongly give country club.
