I asked a rhetorical question of who decides what's common, but it's quite clear the government determines that.

The article is not very long and it's actual interesting to read about the experiment conducted on defining charisma which essentially was defined as a trait of a leader. It compares a leadership style that we have just learned about to one we recently learned about.

I found it interesting that so many organizations have developed this ritual to define leadership skills/abilities when according to the CCO perspective, leadership cannot be "objectively categorized". However, since definig a leader has been a norm in our society, I wonder will we as an individualistic society ever be able to get out of that mindset of trying to define a leader.

I found this article to be interesting because in my opinion it connects to the concept of Interorganizational relationships. The concept involves multiple forms of interactions with organizations to essentially stay up to date with society. Social Networking is one possible form of interaction because it can allow an organization to promote themselves, learn more about other organizations, etc. However, this article also highlights the damage that can be done by using social networking to develop relationships. According to the article, other organizations can see it as a sign of weakness sense social networking takes so little effort

If I had my own business, I would probably see more connection-autonomy because I would want an organization that is more personal with one another rather than hierarchical. I feel that just leads to too much competitiveness when we can all just achieve together.

My opinion on organizations "socializing" individuals into the organization's culture. My quote can be found on page 125 in the second paragraph.

With being a psychology major it is kind of second nature for me to find scholarly articles that connect to topics. So, after reading today's class reading it made me want to find an article that connected to identities in organizations. the article is fairly brief and actually interesting.This article not only discuss how individuals identify themselves based of their function or role in organization but their identity is also influenced by their need to enhance their prestige, their social interactions, and networks.
