Carter is a manager at Global Impact Solutions. When it comes to team performance, he is very strict. However, he grants each em
ployee a month off every year to travel and spend time with their families. As a result, his employees feel motivated to perform better at work. In the context of the Blake/Mouton leadership grid, which of the following leadership styles is Carter using in this scenario? A) The middle-of-the-road styleB) The country club styleC) The authority-compliance styleD) The impoverished style
The middle-of-the-road leadership style is plotted in the center of the grid and shows balanced concern for production and people. Employees are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with their jobs, and their performance is average.
It should be adequate in all four management areas :
1) Interpersonal skills.
2) Intrapersonal skills.
3) Executive abilities.
4) Leadership potential.
hence option A) The middle-of-the-road style is the right choice.
