According to Blake and Mouton's Leadership Grid, a 1,9 Style manager would most likely "go to great lengths to accommodate employees and prevent dissension"

A manager working to improve consideration skills should "specifically learn about the values of individual employees".

Explanation:

A Situational leadership style of management is one in which a leader adjusts his style of management, based on the situation, to suit the needs of his followers. Such a leader believes that there is no single best style of management that suits all situations.

Blake and Mouton developed a Managerial Grid on which they mapped a manager's concern into two categories; concern for people and concern for the product.

A 1,9 style manager, has low concern for the product and high concern for the people (employees). Such a manager goes to great lengths to make sure employees are happy and the work environment is friendly, but production suffers as a result.

Consideration involves caring, understanding, respecting and being sensitive to others. A manager who wants to improve consideration skills should learn about each individual employee's values so he can know how best to relate with each of them on a personal level.
