Effective Emerging Leadership Model: Managerial Grid and Team Management

Introduction
This essay brings out a discussion on effective emerging leadership model. This essay
discusses on managerial grid as a leadership model. This model mainly emphasis on team
management that is concerned with people as well as productivity. This model helps to
analyse own leadership style with the help of grid training. This is concerned with two main
dimensions of leadership that is a concern for people on its vertical axis and concern for
production on its horizontal axis. Further, the essay describes the benefits of using the team
management embedded and integrated with Emotional intelligence and until what extend it
lead to organisational success. Finally, a traditional approach, which the organisation was
following, has be described and further, management grid will help the organisation to
achieve the success (Thomas, Allyn, Wagner, Hodges, and Streitmatter, 2018).
Leadership model in the organisation
According to Blake and Mouton, managerial grid model has two behavioural dimensions
such as concern for people and concern for productivity. The first concern is the degree to
which a leader has to consider the wants of the team members, their areas of personal
development, and their interests while accomplishing the organisational goals. On the other
hand, concern for production is a degree to which a leader can focus on concerting the
objectives, high productivity, and organisational efficiency when it decides how to
accomplish the task. It is important to understand that no particular style of leadership is best
for all the given situations, which is useful to understand which nature of dynamic business
environment can lead to development of skills. A compromise between both the approaches
can result into higher team performance but it will neither meet people`s needs nor motivate
greater performance.

While considering the organisational performance, each leadership style of the managerial
cannot be adopted. Among five leadership styles under the leadership model, team
management will lead to success of the organisation by coordinating the resources and
people. While looking at the position of the team management, it is seen that it is at the edge
of high concern for people and high concern for results and productivity. According to
research scholars, team management is one of the most effective leadership. It reflects that a
leader who is passionate enough to manage his work and manage the people can get the work
done by the subordinates. A team can sound enough only if manager commit to the
organisation`s mission and goals that motivate people to report to them and equally work
harder to stretch the hard working so that they can greater performance and results. At the
same time, if they become inspiring person to the people around then only they look after
their teams. A team manager feel empowered and respected so that it can be committed to

achieve the goals. Team manager always prioritise the organisation greater performance
needs and their people needs. They often do this to make sure that team members understand
the purpose of the organisation by involving the determination needs of production. If a
leader is considerably committed to organisational success, and production needs, it needs to
inculcate some important attributes of emotional intelligence such as trust, loyalty, and
confidence. Further, it create an environment based on respect, and trust that further leads to
high satisfaction, excellent outcomes, and motivation. Team managers adopt theory X
approach of motivation style.
As narrated by some of the famous researchers, it is seen that managerial grid increases the
effectiveness of the leadership. It is said that rating of leadership and leadership effectiveness
are strongly connected to the conflict resolution methods are closely related. Several
hypothesis reveals that managerial grid was tested, the results have indicated that all five
types of leadership in the managerial grid are not effective. Some of them are very poor at
resolving problems, as it has been a poor predictor of resolving problems. By combining all
the negative points of all the leadership styles and improving them creates team management
(Hoch, Bommer, Dulebohn, and Wu, 2018). A team management emphasises on certain
principles such as inculcating emotional intelligence in one’s personality. It is important to
consider that leadership and emotional intelligence theory go together or hand in hand. This
quote defines the importance of emotional intelligence that elaborates that it is the capability
of the leader to have strong understanding, discriminate them from one another, and finally
use the information in order to guide thinking and actions. It is a way of finding, recognising,
choosing and understanding how the subordinates feel and understand by the leader`s actions
(Ma, and Tsui, 2015). A team always expects an excelling team leader someone who keep
calm by assuring demeanour and he can control all the dynamic conditions of business so that
one can excel in the performance. A leader should be a compassionate listener, kind speaker,
