Document Summary

Leader-member exchange theory describes how leader-member relationships develop over time on a dyadic basis. Role taking the phase in a leader-follower relationships when a leader provides an employee with job expectations and the follower tries to meet those expectations. Development of leader-member exchange relations has proven more effective in individualistic (western) cultures than collective (asian) Many of trait-leadership correlations are weak, and focus on leader traits has less practical relevance than a focus on actions. How a leader decides as opposed to what (does the leader decide for themselves, or involve others?) Leaders plays no role in decision unless asked provides resources. Transformational leadership leader inspires followers to commit to a shared vision that provides meaning to their work while also serving as a role model who helps followers develop their own potential and view problems from new perspectives. Furthest away from laissez-fair leadership leader avoids duties altogether.
