Are you a Theory X or a Theory Y Leader?

摘要

The theory X and Y leader-ship model was developed 50 years ago and has been validated by modern research. The model was proposed by social psychologist Douglas McGregor in his classic book "The Human Side of Enterprise." McGregor's model suggests that there are two fundamental approaches to managing people: 1. Many managers tend towardsTheory X, and generally get poor results-especially over the longer term. 2.Enlightened managers mostly use Theory Y, which produces better performance and results, and allows people to grow and develop.
