  10. Professional Development • Leader Member Exchange (LMX) Theory first appeared in the academic literature as Vertical Dyad Linkage (VDL) Theory in: Dansereau, Graen and Haga; A Vertical Dyad Linkage Approach to Leadership in Formal Organizations; Organizational Behavior and Human Performance; 1975; 13; pages 46-78.

  11. Professional Development • Prior to LMX or VDL Theory, academic studies assumed “leadership” was how one person [leader] influenced the actions of another/ others [follower(s)] in a collective way using the same or an “average” style.

  12. Professional Development • In VDL Theory, academic studies identified two types of linkages or relationships: • In-Group: based upon expanded or negotiated role responsibilities. • Out-Group: based upon pre-defined or formal role responsibilities.

  13. Professional Development • Negotiations involve exchanges in which subordinates perform activities that go beyond their formal job responsibilities. • If yes, then In-Group • If no, then Out-Group

  14. Professional Development • Research shows that high-quality LMX yields: • For the subordinate: • Better employee retention • Better job performance evaluations • Quicker / more frequent promotions • Greater organizational commitment • For the superior: • More attention and support for subordinates

  15. Professional Development • Leadership making is a perspective approach to leadership that emphasizes that a leader should develop high-quality exchanges with all of his/her subordinates rather than just a few. It attempts to make every subordinate feel as if he/she is part of the in-group and, in doing so, eliminates the inequities and negative implications of being part of an out-group.

  16. Professional Development • Leadership Making phases: • Stranger • Acquaintance • Partner

  17. Professional Development • Leadership Making phases: • Stranger • Roles: Scripted • Influences: One Way, from L to S • Exchanges: Low Quality • Interests: Self • Acquaintance • Partner

  18. Professional Development • Leadership Making phases: • Stranger • Acquaintance • Roles: Tested • Influences: Mixed • Exchanges: Medium Quality • Interests: Self / Other Individuals • Partner

  19. Professional Development • Leadership Making phases: • Stranger • Acquaintance • Partner • Roles: Negotiated • Influences: Reciprocal, between L and S • Exchanges: High Quality • Interests: Group
