# Long description

The diagram shows a four-box model with two axes: Supportive Behaviour from Low to High on the vertical axis and Directive Behaviour from Low to High on the horizontal axis. Each of the four boxes shows a unique combination of the behaviours. These are arranged as follows:

- Bottom Right Box, labelled Number 1: Combination of High Directive Behaviour and Low Supportive Behaviour which together lead to a Directing management style.
- Top Right Box, labelled Number 2: Combination of High Directive Behaviour and High Supportive Behaviour which together lead to a Coaching management style.
- Top Left Box, labelled Number 3: Combination of Low Directive Behaviour and High Supportive Behaviour which together lead to a Supporting management style.
- Bottom Left Box, labelled Number 4: Combination of Low Directive Behaviour and Low Supportive Behaviour which together lead to a Delegating management style.

Arrows demonstrate a flow from Directing to Coaching to Supporting to, finally, Delegating, indicating the progress managers can make in their management style as team-member experience grows.
