General manager Mr. Das Gupta, of Arihant Co. Ltd. appointed Mr. Aryan as his production manager and gave him the charge of whole unit. He told Mr. Aryan, "From today onwards, I give you charge of the entire production unit. I have full faith in you and believe you can solve your problems. Most of the supervisors here are self-directed to work. Seldom ever have they come to me for getting their problems solved and no worker has ever complained against them. They are efficient in doing their jobs and I don't even think they need to undergo any management training programme. I am sure you can also handle your problems on your own. You don't need to consult me every time you deal with a problem-solving situation. You learn by doing mistakes. Nevertheless, feel free to approach me whenever you like." Questions to be answered: (i) Would you characterize Mr. Das Gupta as a theory X leader or a theory Y leader? State reasons.
