While Leader-Member Exchange Theory (LMX) research addresses the impact that the leader-member relationship has on the individual employee experience, much of this scholarship overlooks or obscures the vital role that communication plays in the development and maintenance of workgroup relationships.

“Omilion-Hodges and Ptacek offer a unique take on LMX through their communication framework. Their book teaches the value of LMX relationships and trains readers in effective communication. I recommend it for a general applied audience who would like to expand their leadership repertoire. So often we get comfortable with a particular approach to leadership, be it transactional, transformational, path-goal, and so forth. If practitioners want to expand their leadership skills with LMX, then this book is an approachable start.” (Reed Priest, Personnel Psychology, Vol. 74 (4), 2022)
