@Hakunah_MatataHi Hakunah, You have used theory but not to the best use.

"Which aspects of subordinates development".. identify these and then use theories to explain them.

Aspects like skill development, behavioural attitude, motivation, team spirit, leadership qualities, productivity and efficiency of subordinates, on the job training ( A probationer IAS learning from a seasoned DC).

Now with respect to above aspects use various pub ad theories to show linkage...Path-Goal theory, Theory Y manager, Positive reinforcement theory, interactive-influence system, use words like delegation-authority-responsibility...just explore first three chapters of paper 1, you will find many theories and thinkers to link it with.

And that is what is going to be today's task for you .Read chapter 2 & Chapter 3 of Aribam and come up with linkages for this question.

Good effort. The sub-categorization in individual space and organisational space was appreciative.

But the examples could have been better. Slightly tangential answer, need to get more closer to what has been asked.

for example, under organisational space..The point decision making....the elaboration was not good...you should explain..how leaders help subordinates in decision making in a job...by providing on the job training, personal example, daily shadowing, giving independent charge...all this would help in development of decision making abilities OF SUBORDINATE in an organisational setting.

@IWRAsir I stuggle in finding or even rememebering when writting answer the examples from Indian admin/contemporary examples from administration. In short the contemporary part of paper 2 has been my weakness...how to go about it? If you have jotted down relevant examples somewhere..would be greatful if you could share that. Thanks

Will share whatever I have eventually. Don't worry.?

Meanwhile I would like to highlight that making linkage is an acquired skills and can be done only through practice and practice..

So keep practicing?
