The document discusses the theories of Frederick Herzberg and Douglas McGregor. Herzberg developed a two-factor theory of motivation and hygiene factors. McGregor proposed theories X and Y, where theory X states employees are lazy and need management, while theory Y states employees strive to do well if given opportunities. Both theorists believed leaders can tap into human potential to improve performance, but not all employees achieve high self-esteem. School leaders apply aspects of both theorists' ideas depending on the context.
