Jane Mouton

Jane Srygley Mouton (April 15, 1930 – December 7, 1987) was an American management theorist, remembered in particular for developing the Managerial grid model with Robert R. Blake.

The Moutons had two daughters named Jane Martha and Jacquelyn Cruse.

Jane Srygley Mouton received her Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Education from the University of Texas at Austin in 1950 and later returned to complete a PhD in 1957 (Contemporary, 2004).

The Grid came into existence when Blake and Mouton were hired as consultants by Exxon.

However, Blake and Mouton's methodology was more focused on treating the organizational issues rather than simply diagnosing them.
