Grid Training and Development
 Proposed by Blake and Mouton
 Also known as managerial grid
 Aims at attaining much more than the development
  and growth of the individual managers.
 It is the technique which integrates individual, team
  and organizational development.
Contd.

 this model depicts two prevailing concerns found in
  all organizations  concern for productivity and
  people.
 MG helps the managers in evaluating their concern for
  people and productivity. It also stresses the importance
  of team  management leadership styles.
Stages of Managerial Grid

1) Training
            The mangers learn about grid concepts and
   how they are applied in week long seminars. After
   appropriate instructions, these key managers will
   work to implement the grid programme through out
   the organization.
2) Team development
 Members of the same department are brought together to
  discuss how they are going to attain 9 9 position on the
  grid.
3) Intergroup development
 Marks the beginning of overall organizational development
 There is a shift from micro level of individual and group
  development to a macro level of group organizational
  development.
 The main focus is on improving co- ordination and
  cooperation among work groups
 Inter group tensions are dealt with openly and joint
  problem solving procedures are adopted
4) Organizational goal setting
 The participants contribute to and agree up on the
  important goals of the organization.
 A sense of commitment and self control is instilled in
  the participants as the managers and subordinates
  work together through out the organization

5) Goal attainment
 The participants attempt to accomplish the goals
 which they set in the fourth stage.
6) stabilization

 All the efforts from stage 1 to 5 are evaluated and
  critical analysis are made and in the light on this
  various programmes may be redesigned.
