Tannenbaum-Schmidt Leadership Continuum
Offers seven positions from the leader telling to the group deciding within limits, a direct prescription for how much decision authority the leader keeps versus hands to the team.
Robert Tannenbaum and Warren Schmidt, 1958
The origin of the framework, as the directory records it. The mark grades the origin, not this page.
Umbrex, Tannenbaum-Schmidt Leadership Continuum
The directory entry this score was read from. Umbrex is a consultancy network; its summary is the reference, not a primary source.
Scored against the twelve cells, it loads one: Authority. The other eleven it leaves to you. None of Composition, Evidence, or Mastery is among them, which is the usual result in this directory: the questions an agent in the loop raises first are the ones the literature answers least.
Treated as a second Authority exception alongside Vroom-Yetton-Jago because it explicitly prescribes where decision rights sit for a given call, not merely a style preference.
This is not a summary of the framework. Umbrex has one; the link under Sources goes there.
