IMPOVERISHED


10/25

Impoverished Leader (low task, low relationship)A leader who uses a "delegate and disappear"

management style. Since they are not committedto either task accomplishment or maintenance;they essentially allow their team to do whatever itwishes and prefer to detach themselves from the

team process by allowing the team to suffer froma series of power struggles. Minimum effort to get

the work done. A basically lazy approach that avoids as

much work as possible.

COUNTRY CLUB

Country Club Leader (low task, high relationship)This person uses predominantly reward power tomaintain discipline and to encourage the team to

accomplish its goals. Conversely, they are almostincapable of employing the more punitive coercive andlegitimate powers. This inability results from fear thatusing such powers could jeopardize relationships with

the other team members. Care and concern for thepeople, with a comfortable and friendly environment and

collegial style. But a low focus on task may givequestionable results.

AUTHORITARIAN

Authoritarian Leader (high task, low relationship)People who get this rating are very much task oriented and arehard on their workers (autocratic). There is little or no allowance

for cooperation or collaboration. Heavily task oriented people

display these characteristics: they are very strong on schedules;they expect people to do what they are told without question or

debate; when something goes wrong they tend to focus on who isto blame rather than concentrate on exactly what is wrong and

how to prevent it; they are intolerant of what they see as dissent (it

may just be someone's creativity), so it is difficult for theirsubordinates to contribute or develop. Demands compliance.

Strong focus on task, but with little concern for people. Focus onefficiency, including the elimination of people wherever possible.

Team Leader

Team Leader (high task, high relationship)This type of person leads by positive exampleand endeavors to foster a team environment inwhich all team members can reach their highestpotential, both as team members and as people.They encourage the team to reach team goals as

effectively as possible, while also workingtirelessly to strengthen the bonds among the

various members. They normally form and leadsome of the most productive teams. Firing on allcylinders: people are committed to task and leader is

committed to people (as well as task).

When is Team Leaderthe Best???

The most desirable place for a leader to be along thetwo axis at most times would be a 9 on task and a 9 onpeople -- the Team Leader. However, do not entirely

dismiss the other three. Certain situations might call forone of the other three to be used at times. For example,by playing the Impoverished Leader, you allow your

team to gain self-reliance. Be an Authoritarian Leader to

instill a sense of discipline in an unmotivated worker. Bycarefully studying the situation and the forces affecting it,you will know at what points along the axis you need to

be in order to achieve the desired result.
