Longer Essay Question #2 (Note: This is a longer Essay question worth 20 points). Suppose you have a colleague at work that has just recently become familiar with the four basic behavior quadrants of the Managerial Grid, and says to you: “Well, Q4 may be a nice goal, but there are some times when you just have to be Q1 with people!” Describe how you would respond to this individual. Is Q4 always the appropriate ideal (hint: how are Q1 vs. Q4 the same and how are they different)? Do you agree that there is only one “best” way to always manage people or should it vary? Justify your answer. Your answer should address in detail how each of the different quadrants of behavior tends to enhance and/or diminish the likelihood of various key business-related outcomes (such as turnover, productivity, creativity and innovation, etc.).
