THE PYGMALION EFFECT


Basically the pygmalion effect affirms that a team does well as the leader and the team think they can. it is also known as the "self fulfilling prophecy".
It refers to the phenomenon in which the greater expectation placed upon people, the better they perform. These theory has been proven, there is enough experimental data to suggest that the self-fulfilling prophecy is true.
The implication of the pygmalion effect for leaders is massive, it means that the performance of your team depends less on them than it does on you.
In my opinion, the pygmalion effect is applied to Leonisa. On that enterprise it can be seen that leaders or managers are responsible for the results, they dont have to show the whole process and they try to put really optimistic goals on workers, making them believe they can do it.
that method has worked in that enterprise for several years and as long as leaders keep on putting great expectations upon workers and motivation them it will continue to work.
