The Continuum of Leadership Behavior was introduced by Robert Tannenbaum and Warren H. Schmidt in 1958 in the article ”How to Choose a Leadership Pattern” in Harvard Business Review.
The Tannenbaum and Schmidt Continuum is a simple model of leadership theory which shows the relationship between the level of freedom that a manager chooses to give to a team, and the level of authority used by the manager.
