Description

Bill Reddin was a British professor and management behaviouralist, who developed some key theories relating to situational leadership styles and the managerial impact on organisational effectiveness. He developed this, which was later named 3D Leadership Model, as part of his PhD Thesis, focused on Managerial Effectiveness and Style. Through his research he identified several different leadership styles and measures their effectiveness in a number of typical situations, essentially amplifying the Management Grid by adding a new dimension of analysis. And essentially adding a fundamental contribution to the concept of Situational leadership, by stating that there is no best leadership style that can be applied to all situations.

The concept of Effectiveness was defined by the appropriateness of the particular leadership style in any given situation and he argued that this should be the main focus of any manager’s efforts. The image above illustrates how each style can be applied (and interpreted) appropriately or inappropriately to a specific situation.

Reddin also identified two further dimensions of analysis at the individual level, noting the Flexibility and Rigidity of each individual style.
