1.
What is LMX theory?
a.
The Leader-Member Exchange Theory emphasizes the relationship between leader and followers. More specifically, this theory highlights the parity in relationships which leads to different outcomes. These outcomes affect employee
and performance metrics. The LMX Theory states relationships differ due to the leader’s lack of social, personal, and organizational resources.
2.
Explain how high-quality leader-member exchange relationships influence follower behavior.
a.
If the LMX is considered high quality, a distinct set of characteristics are present in the workplace. These relationships include trust, loyalty, respect, and reciprocity. More importantly, followers emotionally invest in their communication with leaders. As a result, employee and performance metrics are positively influenced high quality LMX relationships.
3.
Describe the inherent bias of LMX theory and how it can lead to unintended consequences.
a.
A major criticism of LMX theory is said bias. This bias arises when leaders lean-
into members perceived to be “bought in” to the relationship. Positive employee and performance metrics are a result of this practice. Therefore, the inherent bias places everyone else on the “out” facing negatively impacts. These impacts include not only employee metrics, but matters of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

According to Situational-Leadership Theory, match the type of leader with the description.
Leaders set the basic roles an individual has and
the tasks an individual needs to accomplish. The
leader then monitors and oversees their followers
closely.
Leader allows followers to make the day-to-day
decisions related to getting tasks accomplished,
but determining what tasks need to be
accomplished is a mutually agreed upon decision.
Leaders set the basic roles and tasks that need to
be accomplished by specific followers, but they
allow for input from their followers.
Leader and their follower are mutually involved in
the basic decision making and problem-solving
processes. Still, the ultimate control for
accomplishing tasks is left up to the follower.
