LMX Theory : Relationship, Interaction, Exchange, Influence and Power SOURCE: LEADERSHIP THEORY AND PRACTICE BY NORTHOUSE
Leader-‐member exchange (LMX) theory focuses on approach and conceptualizes leadership as a process that is centered on the interac1ons between leaders and followers. In other words, now we are focusing on “ influencing process by exchange” instead of traits, skills, or styles. This is another way to look at rela1onship and interac1on. The benefits for employees who develop high-‐quality leader-‐member rela1onships include preferen1al treatment, increased job-‐related communica1on, ample access to supervisors, and increased performance-‐related feedback (Harris et al., 2009). The disadvantages for those with low-‐quality leader-‐member rela1onships include limited trust and support from supervisors and few benefits outside the employment contract

Summary
ì MOVING FORWARD
ì WITH THE POWER OF TECHNOLOY, CULTURE, AND POOR EDUCATION, THE CHANCE IS HIGH THAT MOBS WILL BE EVERYWHERE AND UNFAIRNESS WILL INCREASE EVERYWHERE UNTIL EVIDENCE COMES OUT
ì DEMOLITION OF SYSTEM AND POWER COLLAPSE WILL FINALLY HAPPEN IN THIS COUNTRY SOON WITH THE FORCE OF ECONOMIC CRISIS OR ANY CATASTROPHIC IF THAT HAPPENS.
We have to be careful how to lead and how to follow so that
We wont be tools of others’ power to influence on unfair basis.
The conclusion of understanding this
theory is to combine with understanding of styles, traits, and skills in order to understand your leader, and country
leaders
