Based on your self-assessment using the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid (BMMG), assess your own preferred behavioral leadership style. What are the strengths and challenges for each style? Are there areas where you would like to make changes or improvements that stem from your results?
Provide anecdotal evidence of behaviors in support of your perspective on behavioral leadership using the BMMG. In addition, provide academic research articles in support of your assessment and critique.
Here are some things I’m going to be looking for in the week 2 paper.
Clearly and explicitly explain the main constructs in your paper. What is the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid? What does it measure? How? What are the 5 styles it measures? Provide some insight into the assessment. Only then can you provide any kind of critique of your own results.
What were your results? How did you score? Including your results adds credibility to your paper. Do you think this is an accurate analysis of your own behavioral leadership style? Explain and critique your results!
Provide examples. If you state that you are a particular style, provide some anecdotal evidence for this.
Make sure you are addressing ALL PARTS of the assignment.
Do not use the first or second person point of view. You can still write about a personal critique or personal opinion using the third person point of view. Remove yourself from the conversation. For example, rather than say, I scored as an integrative leader on the assessment, you might say, scores on the assessment indicated an integrative leader. I said the exact same thing but took myself out of the picture.
I attached my results to the grid. My score landed in Integrative leadership.
