In Harvey’s article, I liked how he said, “it is not enough for a leader to do or be one thing: honest, or charismatic, or “genuine”… Leadership is the executive function of the group, and as such it is comprised of distinct tasks”. Going off of our previous discussions, it is important to remember that leadership is not charisma. Rather, it is a collection of individuals working towards a common goal. One thing we talked about in my 102 class last semester is how leadership is the ever-changing relationship between leaders and followers.<\/p>\n
I also think that Harvey’s reading brought up an interesting point about the Leadership Cycle. He comments that, “the work of leadership is never done”. He presented the seven questions, but then emphasizes that there is no definitive end to these questions, but it evolves over time and is shaped based on the members of the group and their needs. There is no one concrete answer for these types of things, especially when we live in such a fast paced environment where issues and discussions are constantly shifting and changing. Being able to adapt to different environments and communicate to achieve a common goal is so important in the study and execution of effective leadership. It emphasizes that, in such a rapidly changing world, we can’t have effective leadership without communication between all the different groups that make it work cohesively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
