During this time the whole dynamic seems to become more pronounced. Susan, I think you are so right about in groups and out groups becoming apparent at performance review time.

This is something I think I want to ponder a while. Maybe you just gave me the inspiration for <em>another</em> post?!

The in group and the out group become very apparent at performance review time! Looking forward to the next article on meeting this challenge.

I'm often confused by this theory. Mostly because researchers say, "some people are just going to be in the out-group." Whereas consultants say "bring everybody into the in-group." I side with researchers and think you're absolutely right, we can't bring everyone into the in-group. Still, I think LMX only applies to referent power. Is personal power the "one ring to rule them all?" Probably not. But I like where the discussion is going. Thanks. Good summary of LMX. I’m often confused by this theory.

You did a good job of making it accessible. I look forward to reading your post about how to meet the challenge of leading all followers, valuing their contributions without creating in-groups and out-groups. Great introduction to LMX.
