Reference no: EM13762888

The CEO of your company has asked you, the human resource manager, to conduct a study to determine whether or not male managers and female managers perceive leadership styles differently and, if differences are found, to develop a training program that will benefit gender differences in leadership. To this end you selected, randomly, 10 male managers and 10 female managers to participate in your study. To each manager a leadership style survey questionnaire was administered. The questionnaire chosen was the Blake & Mouton Managerial Grid as it assesses leadership behavior. The numeric raw data results of the 18 question study are as follows:

Complete the following in a single MS Word or Excel document:

Calculate the mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation for the numeric data.

Analyze the data and present preliminary conclusions based on answers to questions #2 and #3 with respect to the leadership style differences between male and female managers.
