In groups and out groups, reminds of The Office under the management of Will Ferrel's charecter. "There is no inner circle..."

Nice video. ^_^ What are the strengths and weaknesses of this theory?

[@orgcomm]

That sounds a little like an exam question. I usually avoid those so students can think for themselves. If so, good luck on your exam/paper.

Pro: For in-group: cohesiveness, higher morale. Con: For out-group: rejected, lack of resource, barrier to entry leadership, maintenance of a system that only benefits the in-group.

Could you give any example of a specific manager that is using this sort of leadership style?

[@orgcomm]

Interesting question. It's not really a leadership style, though. This is a leadership theory that describes how many leaders develop an in-group and out-group of followers. It's a description of how some leaders build relationships with some team members but not others.

@@orgcomm I see this happens a lot inside and outside work context such as school, families, and politics. It is a common relational phenomenon, now it has a fancy name ("now" as in since 1975.) 😀

So if we compare mcgregor theory x and y , we can see that in groups are close to theory x and outfroups are close to theory y.give ur thought.?? Nice video though.

I'm not sure about that. This is a relational theory rather than a managerial/leadership theory about beliefs. Also, Theory X and Y are what a manager/leader *_believes_* about his or her followers and even people in general: That they either dislike work and lack their own motivation (Theory X) or that they enjoy work and have a self-motivated approach to it (Theory Y). I personally think attempting to find similarities between Vertical Dyad Linkage Theory and McGregor's Theory X and Y might lead to more confusion than insights. I don't see the advantage of looking for similarities between them.
