4/8 Response- Harvey

Michael Harvey explains how leadership depends on a groups distinctive social reality. There are many concepts that and frameworks that contribute to the group and how it affects them. One of the things I really like about leadership studies is how it shows an interconnectedness of many different types of studies. It is these studies that groups take into consideration when deciding on leadership.

The idea that leadership concerns with every identity of the individuals in a group is interesting. Numerous people have a variety of different goals and interests and as a group becomes larger, the more need there is for leadership. A good leader takes into account of all the varying interests and identities of group members to make sure they are all represented. This ties back to how everything essentially intersects in leadership. It comes in a variety of perspectives and a good leader is able to communicate and emphasize those differences in a way that brings the group together. I think modern society has difficulty in embracing differences, as many judge others based on interests, identity, and perspective. I definitely agree that when a group becomes bigger, the harder it is to maintain the cohesiveness in a group.
