What Makes A Leader?
McGregor‘s Theory X and Y
- Leadership style is dominated by assumptions leaders develop about work attitudes and behaviors
- Theory X
- People are seen to prefer to avoid hard work and require constant direction and supervision (e.g. by means of „the carrot and stick“)
- Managers as leaders try to maximize control over worker‘s behavior (by developing rules [SOP‘s] and a well defined system of rewards and punishments to be able to exert control)
