George B. Graen

George B. Graen was a psychologist known for developing the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory, which explains how the quality of relationships between managers and employees influences workplace performance and teamwork. His research showed that when leaders build strong, trust-based relationships with their team members, it leads to better communication, higher job satisfaction, and improved productivity. Graen’s work has been influential in understanding leadership dynamics and how personalized interactions can positively impact organizational effectiveness.
