Leader-Member Exchange
The LMX or the leader-member exchange theory refers to the type of a leadership relationship that focuses on the two-way relationship between the leaders and their followers, with the primary aim of explaining the effect of the leadership between the two parties.
A high-quality leader-member exchange refers to the approach or interaction between the leader and the followers in such a manner that emphasizes a leader in developing high-quality exchanges with all their members or subordinates implying that all the measurements in are positive and high quality. The high-quality exchanges are therefore characterized by a high degree of mutual trust, reciprocity, a higher degree of obligation as well as high-quality exchanges. Thus, high-quality exchanges between the leaders and their subordinates produce positive impacts that include reduced employee turnover, more promotions among the members as well as higher employee commitment. The high-quality exchanges as well can be attributed to an increase in the employee attitudes and therefore results in the employee feeling better, accomplishing more in the organization and helping the organization to prosper due to the sense of belonging to the organization.
The leader-member exchange theory may be subject to inherent bias such as cognitive bias, especially for the out-group. The reason is that managers are human and can be subject to making poor judgments that may lead to an individual acquiring unfair membership to the out-group. A wrong impression at first can lead to biased thoughts to a bad work relationship and thus destroying the leader-member interactions that can lead to a culture deficient of trust, cohesiveness, as well as inclusion and this, may decrease the overall performance as well as the satisfaction of both leader and followers.

Josquin’s Ave Maria and the “Kyrie” of Palestrina’s Pope Marcellus Mass.
“Kyrie” of Palestrina’s Pope Marcellus Mass was composed by Giovani Pierluigi da Palestrina and is one of the famous masses. The mass is freely composed and is composed of a six-voice as the medium. The mass was composed during the Renaissance era of genre Kyrie. The form of the music is that it is through-composed with no major sections of the music repeated. The texture is monophonic in the beginning, advancing to homo-rhythm and polyphony. The rhythm of the mass is slow duple.
Josquin’s Ave Maria was composed by Josquin des Prez who lived between c.1450-1521. The music is polyphonic and was composed during the Renaissance period. It is composed of four primary voices. The music is through-composed and no repetition of large musical sections, new materials follow one after the other. The harmony of the music is consonance avoiding dissonance to achieve serenity and devotion. The rhythm of the music is regular pulse throughout, and a smoother motion is favored. The tempo is medium. The texture of the music is polyphonic and chordal harmony.
The two kinds of music are similar in a variety of ways; they have a common form that is through-composed, they were composed at the same period- the renaissance era and as well the texture is polyphonic. Both types of music are sacred, and both have no repeated major sections. Besides, the two music was composed in the same Language-Latin. However, the two music differ in that the medium of Ave Marie is composed of four entries while that of “Kyrie” of Palestrina’s Pope Marcellus Mass is composed of six primary entries.
