Important Behavioral studies

Ohio State University (1940s): there were two groups of behaviors that were strongly correlated. These were defined as Consideration (People Oriented behavioral Leaders) and Initiating Structure (Task Oriented Leaders).

University of Michigan (1950s) Lead by the famous organizational psychologist, Dr. Rensis Likert, the leadership studies at the University of Michigan identified three characteristics of effective leadership; two of which were previously observed in studies that had been conducted at Ohio State University. The study showed that task and relationship-oriented behaviors weren't of major significance within the world of organizational psychology. However it was the third observation that introduced a new concept, one of participative leadership

Name: Managerial Grid Model, also known as Leadership Grid Author: Dr. Robert R. Blake, Dr. Jane Srygley Mouton. Classification: Behavioural Leadership Model Year: 1964
At conception, the managerial grid model was composed of five different leadership styles. These styles were a relation between a manager's concern for people, concern for production and his motivation. The motivation dimension really provides the underlying motive of the leader behind a successful leadership style. Thus the managerial grid model categorizes leaders into one of 81 possible categories. Later, two additional leadership styles were added as well as the element of resilience.
