First off, prior to this assignment, I didn't know why people were talking so much about lost, and well after watching about 10 trailers on youtube, I think I might be tuning in to season 7, Talk about Dramatic!!!
Through the trailers, there was one voice/character who I feel is a good example for path-goal leadership. This was the person who was persistent that all the lost characters were not on this island by coincidence, but had all ended up there for a reason. I believe he made this message clear by employing the path-goal method. His goal was that there is a higher more powerful reason they all ended up on the island together. And in order to understand that reason he directed everyone on a path starting with clarifying his theory, and finding supporting evidence.
The next theory, Leader Member Exchange, I believe is present in every group setting, but especially with the season Lost. Relationship were build between the 15 characters first with phase one and as the group got to know each other more they went onto phase 3 of a partnership, confident negotiations and overall a strong relationship.
I think I will have a better grip on the themes in lost, once I tune into the upcoming season :)
