Description

This Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory template visually explains the dynamics of leadership and subordinate relationships, illustrating the distinction between the "In-Group" and "Out-Group" in organizational settings. The LMX model emphasizes the importance of personal compatibility, trust, and the level of interaction between a leader and their subordinates. The diagram shows how individuals in the "In-Group" (Subordinates A, B, and C) have high interactions with the leader based on trust and informal relationships, while those in the "Out-Group" (Subordinates D, E, and F) maintain more formal relationships.

The slide offers a simple, clear structure to demonstrate how leaders form different levels of connection with their team members, based on personality compatibility and trust, which can affect team dynamics and performance. This editable template can be customized to include specific organizational examples or adapted for discussions on leadership styles, team collaboration, and employee engagement.
