WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid Test

Leaders often balance attention to task accomplishment with attention to people. The Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid is a brief self-report measure designed to characterize an individual’s leadership orientation across these two domains. It consists of 18 items and takes about 4 minutes to complete.

Developed by Blake, R.; Mouton, J., the measure is commonly used to support structured reflection on management style and to facilitate discussion in leadership development contexts. Scores are typically interpreted as relative emphasis on production/task versus relationships/people, which can inform coaching goals, training priorities, and team-based feedback conversations. In applied settings, the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid is best considered one source of information alongside other assessment data and contextual factors.
