Based on the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory of Leadership, whenever there is a team project, there is an in-group and an out-group. These two groups refer to the relationship between the leader and the employees. Employees in the in-group always have more responsibilities and often learn about events/updates earlier than the out-group.
Thinking about this, please do the following:
As an employee, explain two benefits and two disadvantages of being part of the in-group and the out-group.
As an employee, how might you work your way into the in-group?
