This paper evaluates the Pygmalion effect, a phenomenon that shows how a manager's expectations greatly effect the
performance and productivity of his workers. It shows how effective managers must be able to communicate a positive
attitude toward their workers in order to gain the greatest
efficiency possible. It uses a fictitious company, XYZ, a diversified, multinational company operating on a global scale in more than thirty countries, yet privately owned and a semi-annual review to determine the efficiency of their managers at communicating this attitude through a study.
