FAQ’s

William James Reddin was a prominent psychologist and management theorist born in England in 1930. He studied in the United States and obtained several postgraduate degrees at institutions such as Harvard University and MIT. His most significant contribution was the creation of the “3D Model”, which focused on managerial effectiveness and data-driven decision making. His pragmatic approach focused on achieving results and linked management by objectives with behavioral sciences, making him an influential author in the field of management. Throughout his career, Reddin developed a methodology for implementing his theory, helping organizations improve management and management development.

Reddin’s 3-D Theory is based on research that revealed that work behavior is made up of two fundamental elements: the task and relationships with others. Four basic behavioral styles were identified: integrated style (balance between task and relationships), dedicated style (mainly task-oriented), related style (focused on relationships), and separate style (limited in both aspects). The effectiveness of these styles depends on the situation, leading to eight applied styles. These eight styles are ranked based on how they are used appropriately or inappropriately in specific situations. 3-D Theory provides a tool to understand and differentiate work behaviors based on their focus and effectiveness in various circumstances.

Effectiveness is defined as the degree to which a person achieves the expected objectives of his or her position, focusing on the outcome rather than the inputs.
