In relation to McGregor’s theories, a leader’s relate theory Y to having a positive rating of transformational leadership qualities and behaviour while theory Y is related to negative leadership behaviour. In my self- assessment score, Theory X is predominant to theory Y a reflection that my employees do not like their working environment, supervision by their subordinates and majors, nor do they make any personal effort. Having the above feedback from my employees in mind, it is my personal responsibility to transform my employee’s perception to their work and working environment by coming up with a workable management theory that will bring in positive energy and change their perception.

This is a true reflection since in my observation; many employees are satisfied by financial security a factor that indicates most employees do not work for the love of the job but the financial gains.  The above is a convincing factor that I need to be pushed in my working place to depict more of Y.
