Topic 7 Dyadic Relationship, Followership and Delegation

 Assalamualaikum and good day, brilliant people !

Relationship is the way in which two or more people or things are connected. This topic we focus more on relationship between leaders and followers. Our lecturer share a quote from Alexander the Great which is "I'm not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I'm afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion". Although its sound funny but the message behind it so powerful. Its means that even though you have a group of very talented teammates and its being led by a not good leader, we can expect the outcome is not good as we expected as the leader have a crucial role in a society. 

In my understanding, theory of dyadic leader relationship is about the leader's behaviour that being affected by their followers. 

Let me share with you the cycle of Dyadic relationship Leader-Follower Relationships develop over time.

1. Stage 1: Leaders and followers are like strangers. Usually here they observe each other. 
2. Stage 2: Leaders and followers are acquainted. The leaders give task to see on how their followers responds to it.
3. Stage 3: Already reach maturity for both parties. The leaders now can decide with behavior that they can use for certain group of followers.

In-group and out-group followers...Is all based on the follower's behavior, performances. In-group people can be out-group people and vice versa. There are a lot of reasons on why that happened. A good leader will try to improve his/her people's performances. They will try to get know their follower's problems, give some advices and guide them to be a better follower. 

Delegation is a process of assigning to a subordinate the responsibility and authority for accomplishing objectives. Why a leader assign extra tasks to their followers? Of course to lessen her/his burden. But the benefits for the followers, they can gain new knowledges and skills. If the tasks is successfully done, somehow someway the relationship between the leader and followers become solid. 

In a nutshell, being a good leader sometimes cant promise a good result as you have such a toxic followers. We cannot change someone who do not want to change for a better reason. Whether you are a leader or follower, always be open minded to others advices, opinions and etc. And also be kind and have positive mindset 

Thats all from my mini heart and I cant wait to write more for next topic.

Adios my brilliant people.......
