The process of people change in an organization is generally referred to as Organization Development (OD). One of the recommended approaches to OD is the utilization of the ideal management style, which is embedded in managerial grid (Grid).

List some of the significant weaknesses of Grid OD, and briefly explain how these weaknesses can be addressed when we implement Grid OD.
