Discuss the following issues. Please also provide brief feedback to the two students who posted immediately before you (this could be done within one week from the due date).
First, familiarize yourself with Leader-Member Exchange Theory by reading the textbook and/or other relevant materials (there are plenty of resources about this on the Internet). Then,
-Think of one experience in which you are the leader or the follower in a team (or a group of people). Briefly describe this context (e.g. What's the purpose of the team? How big is the team? What power does the leader have?).
-Take the LMX self-assessment listed in the module, and describe your role in this context (leader, in-group, or out-group).
-What behaviors of the leader create in-group versus out-group distinctions in this context? How do these behaviors influence members' performance and well-being?
-Should the leader in this context expect that he/she can establish in-group relationships with all of his/her team members or a majority of them? Why or why not? Can he/she still be perceived as fair if he/she can not?
-In this context, what responsibilities do team members have for creating high-quality relationships with their leader? What steps should they take to help this happen?
