I found the\u00a0The Christopher von Rueden and Mark van Vuaght reading to be interesting. I don’t remember ever discussing\u00a0large scale versus small scale in the leadership classes that I’ve taken so it was interesting to read about the implications. This reading reminded me a lot of my previous leadership 102 class with Dr. Harwell where we focused mostly on\u00a0how there are different leadership styles and how they are used for different situations respectively.\u00a0An idea that I was familiar with and could relate to in my 102 was the \u201cmismatch hypothesis\u201d mentioned in the reading. This reminded me of an activity that we did in Dr. Harwell’s class where we had to list the important aspects or physical attributes of what a leader possesses and listed them on the board.<\/p>\n
Personally, my thoughts on what a leader possessed went straight to dominance and being physically fit and basically correlated a leader as masculine. I wondered why people are already inclined to generally view men to be leaders and the reading’s evolutionary explanation about gender touched upon that. I think it is more important when selecting a leader to judge them on their intellectual capabilities and their success rather than physical aspects. Overall, in this reading it was just interesting to see how much of the leadership we see in LSS is a result of the SSS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
