Getting Started
As a follower, you may have experienced a leader that empowered you and you were able to have a strong sense of connection. The leader’s communication style was one that you could relate to and it was encouraging. However, there are times when a leader does not want to lose their control or power. Theory X leaders display behaviors that can stifle productivity and be counter-active to meeting the organization's goals and objectives. As you prepare for this assignment, reflect on leaders you have been in contact with, what behaviors did you see that demonstrated a Theory X or Theory Y perspective? Have you seen a trend that Theory Y is more prevalent in today’s workplace?
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
