Combination of Tannenbaum and Schmidt Continuum with Tuckman Stages
You can combine the Leadership Continuum with the Team Development Stages of Tuckman.
Plotting
Tuckman's Team Building Stages onto the Tannenbaum and Schmidt Continuum shows a collaboration between them.
- Forming stage of team, where
authoritive style is used = manager makes and announces decisions. Through to
- Performing stage of team, where
transformational style is used = manager allows full freedom.
I have used these two models combined to explain why management styles change (or should) over time.
