10. Different Ldrship Style Combinations
• Style 1 - Hi task and low relationship. The “telling" style is very
dir because the ldr produces a lot of input but a min amount of
relationship behavior. An autocratic ldr style would fit here
• Style 2 - Hi task and hi relationship. The "selling" style is also very
dir, but in a more persuasive, guiding manner. The ldr provides
considerable input about task accomplishment but also
emphasizes human relations
• Style 3 - Hi relationship and low task. In the "participating"
ldrship style, there is less dir and more collaboration between ldr
and gp members. The consultative and consensus subtypes of
participative ldr gen fit into this combination
• Style 4 - Low relationship and low task. In the "delegating"
ldrship style, the ldr delegates resp for a task to a gp member and
is simply kept info of progress. If carried to an extreme, this style
would be cl as free-rein
