  • Audobon/Dillard Essay

    643 Words  | 2 Pages

    Persuading others of your vision requires knowledge and a clear strategy (Business Dictionary). Leadership is a natural quality that comes up as responsibility in exchange of having followers with, in return, the followers creating a leader.

As mentioned the two groups that members can fall into are in-group and out-group. In-group members are those that share similarities with the leader.
