What characterizes the 'country club' style of management according to Blake and Mouton's grid?

High concern for both people and tasks
Low concern for both people and tasks
High concern for people; low concern for tasks
High concern for tasks; low concern for people

The correct answer is: High concern for people; low concern for tasks

The 'country club' style of management, as defined by Blake and Mouton's Managerial Grid, is characterized by a high concern for people and a low concern for tasks. This approach prioritizes the needs, feelings, and well-being of team members, promoting a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. However, it often results in a lack of focus on achieving organizational goals and completing tasks efficiently. Managers who adopt this style may avoid confrontation and place a greater emphasis on personal relationships than on performance outcomes. This can lead to a situation where employees feel supported and valued, but productivity may suffer if tasks are not adequately monitored or prioritized.
