Formally, one can identify at least three stages of development in the Leader-member Exchange relationship. First, there is the organizational stage, where a person rises from a group for various reasons. There usually is a task that needs to be performed and the approaches of doing it range from anarchy to a single person directing everything. This person rising from the rest of the crowd may have charisma, intelligence or some quality that others recognize and see as desirable or essential for accomplishing the task. There may be, of course, situations where there is no real task but persons are attracted to another and are desirous to follow. In this case, the will to socialize for a sense of belonging or companionship are prime motivators. Whatever the case, the leader-rest of the group forms.
