Description

This course introduces the leader-member exchange (LMX) theory, explaining what it is, how it develops in the workplace, and the dynamics of in-groups and out-groups. It explores both the benefits and drawbacks of these groups and highlights common biases leaders may face, such as similar-to-me bias, racial bias, and gender bias. The course also touches on cultural fluency and offers practical steps leaders can take to build stronger, more inclusive relationships with all team members. The goal is to help leaders expand their in-group and foster a more unified and equitable work environment.
