I found Harvey’s chapter intriguing as he elaborated on the discussion of group ideologies. \u00a0We are often taught in our leadership classes that leadership is possible because of a similar ideology or set of morals shared amongst a group. \u00a0Harvey defined this as asking and answering the “who are we?” question. \u00a0Identity and a sense of self are found in asking this question, but there is an implied question of “who are we not?” \u00a0Addressing this allowed me to make the connection that this is the root of establishing an in-group and out-group mentality. \u00a0This plays into the next questions he brings up around the drive, alignment, envision, and learning – each that are an on going discussion for leadership. \u00a0I found this to be interesting, as I thought of the model being used in different regime or government structures. \u00a0I’d think that it would be applicable, yet it can be manipulated to adjust its audience based on the structure.<\/p>\n
I thought Bezio’s article introduced an interesting connection between literary works and modern politics, through the lens of leadership. \u00a0Specifically in the discussion of the Union, it would be conditionally upon the successfulness of leadership to unite people and crowns. \u00a0This directly reminded me of Harvey’s definition of leadership – the relationship between leaders and followers – as Bezio implies successful leadership embraces that relationship, as well. \u00a0I found the discussion on Brexit intriguing, as Bezio discussed the differences in older and younger peoples’ sense of ideology and each’s “who we are” question. \u00a0It created a division within the nation – whether to embrace English nationalism or not – ultimately defining the successes – or failures – of Brexit, and it questions the balance of nationalism and unity, within the nation and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
