Douglas McGregor is perhaps one of the most interesting theorists in my opinion because he chose to approach management from two different perspectives.

Assessment 1 dealt with Managerial Assumptions. This assessment will give insight in my orientation toward Douglas McGregor’s Theory X and Y.

This paper will focus on leadership styles Contingency Model, Douglas McGregor’s Theory X, and Theory Y and Robert Houses Leaderships based on traits and Path-Goal Leadership Theory. These theories focus on the qualities distinguished between leaders and employees, while other leadership theories looked at aspects like situations and skills.

A few years back, on a sunny Sunday morning, I visited Palolem beach along with my cousins. The moment we reached the beach, we could see a lovely deserted island popularly known as Monkey Island (marked as Kankon Island on Google maps).
