XY Leadership

XY Leadership is part of the emerging trends and is based on the current paradigm, welfare and satisfaction of employees. It is based on the assumptions of Douglas McGregor in his X and Y theories, who defines an X employee as someone who dislikes work and therefore avoids it, and a Y employee as someone who enjoys work. The foundations for this style of leadership are established through a qualitative and descriptive bibliographical analysis that, using the inductive method, proposes the structure of the proposal. In the analysis four scenarios are contemplated: 1) employees X who remain X in time; 2) employees X who become Y; 3) employees Y who remain Y in time, and 4) employees Y who become X. The results explain that, for the management of these situations, two strategies are suggested: 1) Transform and 2) Maintain, as well as the integration of the following systems: 1) Control, 2) Training, 3) Participation and 4) Delegation. It concludes with a structured system and suggests this document as an approach to the structure of a leadership style that should be analyzed and validated.
