A manager may have a difficult time leading their team to higher levels of performance when team members think that:

Each team member has a different quality relationship with the manager, ranging from high$-$ to low$-$quality.

Half the members have high quality relationships with the manager, and the other half have low quality relationships.

One team member has a high$-$quality relationship with the manager, whereas all the others have low quality relationships.

All members have a decent relationship with the manager.
