Measure your mind's height by the shade it casts

Today read an article on managerial model: Blake Mutton Managerial Grid (BMMG). quite interesting. there are two kinds of managerial style, one is production or task-oriented, with the other people-oriented. Sometimes, they could be at conflict, but i think, a genuine teamleader could blend them very naturally. But this model fails to take into account the cultural context in the age of globalisation. The managerial model could be categorized into not just task-oriented, or people-oriented, but also culture-oriented. I think the latter is more interesting than the former two, given that none could escape from the globalisation context. As New York Time columnist Thomas Friedman argues, we now live in a "flat" world. The tested managerial model in the West has to be re-tested again in a different cultural context.
