Answer: Role taking

Step-by-step explanation:

The leader–member exchange theory simply focuses on the two way relationship that exist between the leaders and the followers.

When a new member joins the organization, it's the responsibility of the leader to assess the talent of the new employee and offer him or her the opportunities to demonstrate their capabilities and explain the functions that the person is expected to perform. This is what Kayla's supervisor is performing.
