Relational Concerns in Corporate Environments IX

Posted on | March 8, 2012 | No Comments

Relational Concerns in Corporate Environments IX Douglas McGregor (Heil, Bennis & Stephens, 2000) referred to this as the X and Y theory of collaboration. One can think of X represented by workmen's arms crossed in defiance and representing a lack of action, and Y as in the response, “why not”, a more open-minded and reasonable attitude of cooperation. Mary Parker Follett (2005/1926) illustrated the difference in the X and Y theory by explaining that workmen were more likely to follow leaders integrating orders through a give-and-take and response-and-action dialogue management style. A leader needs to understand that the same individual belongs to many different groups (organizations and systems), which may cause a conflict in the individuals’ actions and stance. This is exacerbated, says McGregor (Heil, Bennis & Stephens, 2000) because the individual has an emotional connection of varying levels and degrees with other individuals in his or her variety of groups.
