The second concept leaders must account for which followers are accustomed. All three leaders discussed above had an easier transition, because all three countries were familiar with male leaders. This is typical because male leaders are sought to give stability and safety (Thoroughgood). Germany and Cuba would not have accepted anything other than a strong and confident male leader. Jim Jones’ situation was slightly different in the way that there were male leaders on both sides of the civil rights
The Leader-Member Exchange Theory, or LMX, is a two-way relationship between management/supervisors and their employees/subordinates. The theory assumes that leaders use different management styles, leadership styles, and behaviors with each individual subordinate or group of subordinates. The exchange between supervisors and subordinates will be inconsistent between each individual member of the group. A supervisor may be very kind and supportive to one employee/group and be very critical and
Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory The Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory is unique as it was not leader focused, nor was it follower focused. This theory a different approach, as Northouse (2013) stated, the "Leader–member exchange (LMX) theory takes still another approach and conceptualizes leadership as a process that is centered on the interactions between leaders and followers." (p. 161). The theory acknowledges that a leader may will have different relationships with each follower and that
The leader-member exchange (LMX) theory focuses on a dyad relationship. This is a relationship between a leader and each subordinate which are considered independent, rather than on the relationship between the superior and the group. Each linkage, or relationship, is likely to differ in quality. Thus, the same leader may have poor interpersonal relations with some subordinates and open and trusting relations with others. The relationships within these pairings, or dyads, may be of a predominantly
Every leader and follower is unique and works in a different way, depending on the situation. Leadership is a relationship built between leaders and followers, which require some sort of guidance for leaders.

In this theory, improved outcomes result from reciprocal trust, respect, and responsibility arising from influence shared between leader and subordinate as delineated in designated roles (Shweta & Srirang, 2013).

person is considered the leader, whose main job is to motivate and keep their selected members on task. Leaders develop different relationships with their subordinates based upon different levels and types of influence, known under the leader-member exchange (LMX) theory.

Both transformational leadership and leader-member exchange leadership theories have been an issue of discussion for many scholars. The majority of authors agree that transformational leaders ‘have qualitatively different and quantitatively greater effects on their followers than the effects of exchange leaders’ (Gupta & Krishnan 2004, p.7). This essay builds on the existing literature about these two theories and will try to draw a parallel between LMX and transformational leadership, i.e. it will
There are different leadership theories developed throughout the history. Most popular ones are trait theories, behavioral theories, contingency theories, and leader-member exchange (LMX) theory.

A number of writers emphasize the role of fairness in the relation between a leader and a follower. In
Leadership theories are ever-evolving as organizational dynamics are constantly shifting. Thoroughly examining the Distributive Leadership and Leadership-Members Exchange approaches offers the opportunity to note the positive and negative aspects of each, as well as the key concepts.

To better compliment this study, looking at a leadership application in a diverse

Approach Well as for as situational approach is concerned Donald Trump approach was not that much situational.
