The hope of these managers is that their team’s engagement will lead to task completion, though this isn’t always the case. These managers should leave as they are probably not happy and they certainly are not making either their teams or their organizations happy.Ĭountry club management (AKA accommodating management) occurs when managers have lots of concern for their team’s engagement, happiness and wellbeing, but little for completing tasks.

Where managers find themselves on the grid is a product of their prior experience, lessons they’ve learned from their role-models, the culture of their organization, personal style and the training and development they have received. The managerial grid identifies five main styles of leadership, each dependent on a specific blend of concern for task and concern for people.
