Vertical Dyad Linkage Theory of Leadership

The video discusses a relational model of leadership based on George Graen and Associates' work. It highlights how leaders form in-groups and out-groups, treating followers differently, which affects their perceptions and roles. In-groups enjoy closer relationships and more influence, while out-groups have standard roles with less trust. The formation of these groups depends on leader-follower dynamics and can change with new leadership. The video concludes with a reflection on personal experiences in such groups.
