Task-Related Maturity

Andy Grove emphasizes: ==The most important responsibility of a manager is to inspire their subordinates to perform at their best==.

Unfortunately, there is no single management style that fits everyone in all situations. The fundamental variable in finding the best management style is the task-related maturity (TRM) of the subordinates.

Subordinate's Work Maturity	Effective Leadership Style
Low	Organized; Task-oriented; Detail-focused; Accurately points out the details of "when - what - how"
Medium	People-oriented; Provides support; "Two-way communication" model
High	Goal-oriented "monitoring" model

A person's task-related maturity depends on the specific work project, and its improvement takes time. When task-related maturity reaches its highest level, the individual's knowledge and motivation will also reach a certain height, allowing their manager to successfully delegate work to them.

The key takeaway is: ==There is no good or bad management style; there is only effective and ineffective==.
