Full Answer
C.Country Club Management (1,9)✓ Correct
The Blake & Mouton grid maps 'Concern for Production' (x-axis) against 'Concern for People' (y-axis). A 1,9 score indicates low focus on tasks (missed deadlines) but high focus on people (fun atmosphere), known as Country Club Management.
Common mistakes
Confusing the coordinates (1,9 vs 9,1). Remember: Production is usually the first number (x-axis), People is the second (y-axis).
