Leader-member exchange Superior/treatment team member relationships... 

The concept of leader-member exchange developed from attempts to understand exactly how leaders influence subordinates. Research shows that the quality of the relationship between the subordinate and his or her superior provides an important pathway mediating this influence. Specifically, leaders are more influential when workers trust that leaders are watching out for their interests in the workplace. This qualitative aspect of the relationship is the dimension measured by leader-member exchange. 

One form of leadership influence is called transformational leadership (or sometimes just leadership"). The transformational leader actively develops his people. When leadership has this quality, the treatment team member tries to achieve a goal not in anticipation of a reward or to avoid a punishment but because achieving the goal fulfills an organizational purpose important to both the leader and the team member. Transformational leadership exerts its effect principally through relationships and therefore represents an opportunity to build high levels of leader-member exchange.
