The job changes at twelve staff
- The founder can cook, sell and schedule. At twelve staff, the job becomes enabling - and the grid says she is still cooking: 9 task, 3 relationship.
- The engagement survey's strongest driver: "someone notices my development". The dot must move to 9,7.
Diagnose the dot, then move it
- The managerial grid: concern for production × concern for people. The evidence favours high–high — and situational leadership adds: match the follower's readiness.
- The priced behaviour: one development conversation a fortnight, diarised like a supplier order — what gets scheduled gets led.
The founder is diagnosed (9,3). The engagement driver says "development is noticed". The target dot is:

The grid evidence favours high-high: the task mastery stays, the development conversations are added - diarised, because what gets scheduled gets led.
New waiter, new task, low readiness - and a seasoned sous-chef. The situational prescription:

Match style to readiness - over-directing the sous-chef buys quiet disengagement; under-directing the new waiter buys anxiety.
On the 9x9 grid, a (9,3) leader's dot moves to (9,7). How many points of people-concern are added?

Four points - priced concretely as one development conversation a fortnight. The grid converts sentiment into a scheduled number.
Transformational, honestly graded
- Transformational leadership 变革型领导 (vision, individual consideration, intellectual stimulation) outperforms transactional bookkeeping — real but MODEST effects, mostly correlational studies.
- The honest sentence: the best-evidenced family in OB, with the caveat written beside it.
Which layer is this evidence from?
Place culture evidence at artefact, espoused-value or assumption level - the layer decides the change lever.
Transformational leadership's evidence is strong, causal and settled.

Real but modest effects, mostly correlational. The honest sentence grades the evidence while recommending the family.

Assumptions show under pressure; the bin rate (4.0 to 2.1) is the assumption with a number. Posters move posters.
Match each layer to its evidence.

Read culture at the deepest layer that shows - and give it a number.
Culture is read at the deepest layer
- Artefacts (the tidy pass), espoused values ("quality first"), assumptions (what happens when a plate goes back). Organisational culture 组织文化 is what the crew does when the founder is off.
- Culture change starts at assumptions by changing what gets praised: the defect-bin rate 4.0% → 2.1% over a quarter is the culture metric, measured.
The fastest lever for changing assumptions is:

Assumptions are learned from what is rewarded in front of the crew. Praise at the moment of the behaviour, and the 4.0-to-2.1 trend follows.
A leadership course without a scheduled behaviour change is a reasonable investment.

Inspiration decays like milk; the diarised fortnightly conversation is the intervention. The behaviour IS the training.
Three leadership slips
- Anointing one theory. Each explains a slice; the grid diagnoses, situational matches, transformational lifts.
- Reading culture from the poster. Artefacts are the surface; test the assumption under pressure.
- Training without scheduled behaviour. Inspiration decays like milk.
Recap
- Grid for diagnosis, situational for the match, transformational for the evidence (modest, correlational).
- Culture = artefacts, values, assumptions — change what is praised.
- Scheduled behaviour is the difference between leadership and sentiment.
