Think of two real-life examples of reciprocity from your workplace (or an organization you are a part of like a club, religious organization, or a non-profit you volunteer for)  - one where you did something for someone else and expected reciprocation and the other where someone expected reciprocity from you for a favor they did. etc.).

Your initial post should include the following:

• Briefly describe each example.
• What value can a leader gain by utilizing the phenomenon of reciprocity with followers?
• Can an unscrupulous leader use reciprocity to manipulate followers? If so, how? If not, why?

In response to your peers, respectfully indicate an agreement or disagreement with your classmates' assessment of whether a leader can gain value by utilizing reciprocity and whether a leader can use reciprocity as a tool of manipulation. Make sure you outline why you agree/disagree.
