p>Theoretical origin of the management square:

The management square theory is derived from the two-factor theory of leadership styles.

In 1945, two men, Ralph M. Stogdill and Carroll L. Shartle, of the Institute of Business and Industry at Ohio State University, led this study. They categorized leadership behaviors into "caring for people" (empathy) and "caring for work" (structure), each of which was divided into two areas, high and low, and from these, they devised a "Leadership Behaviors The "Leadership Behavior" Quadratic Chart (i.e., four quadrants: high empathy for high structure, high empathy for low structure, low empathy for high structure, and low empathy for low structure) was designed.

Based on this foundation, Black and Morton co-authored the book TheManagerialGrid in 1964, which put forward the theory of managerial grid to study the leadership style and its effectiveness. After the book was published, it was widely recognized by the academic community and highly welcomed by the industry, and in more than a decade, nearly one million copies were sold in the U.S. In 1978, they revised and reprinted the book, renaming it The New Managerial Grid.
