The 98-year-old is the nation\u2019s 39th president and the oldest living president in U.S. history. For many, Carter is better known for his humanitarian work post-presidency than his actual time in office. His extensive <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.habitat.org\/volunteer\/build-events\/carter-work-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">volunteer activities with Habitat for Humanity<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0show his dedication to helping people improve their lives. As a\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">leader<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, President Carter was\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">an individual who helped facilitate, guide, and be the representative voice of<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0the United States. He was head of the government, a\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">formal organization<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> comprising\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">structured and bureaucratic systems regulated by clearly stated norms and rules<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. There are other categories of leaders worth considering. Let\u2019s take a few minutes to examine alternative forms of leadership and the issues associated with leadership more broadly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Formal organizations aren\u2019t the only groups that have leaders. Leaders can also be found in <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">informal organizations<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which are<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> systems of personal contacts and relationships of groupings of people<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. These informal groups focus on a network of social and personal relationships. Examples include groups like book clubs and intermural sports teams. Whether formal or informal, organizations usually have a leader whose traits align with the group\u2019s needs. While an <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">authoritarian leader<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, with<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> a leadership style based on orders and directives<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, may make sense in the military, it wouldn\u2019t make sense for a book club. On the other hand, a <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">laissez-faire leader<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">who takes a hands-off approach to leadership<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0makes sense for a collective of artists; it might be less effective for a college football team.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Group conformity<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">aligning attitudes and behaviors with group norms<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, is critical to the success of any organizational leader. A student coming to class, opening their laptops, and waiting to take notes is an example of group conformity because this behavior is part of classroom learning norms. On the other hand, standing in line at the grocery store and waiting your turn to check out is also group conformity. Group conformity is important to leadership because if the group members choose not to conform, the leader will have a more challenging time leading.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-110108 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/02\/terence-burke-WV7ZMt3RjsQ-unsplash-197x300.jpg\" alt=\"A space craft at a space station.\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/02\/terence-burke-WV7ZMt3RjsQ-unsplash-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/02\/terence-burke-WV7ZMt3RjsQ-unsplash-672x1024.jpg 672w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/02\/terence-burke-WV7ZMt3RjsQ-unsplash-768x1170.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/02\/terence-burke-WV7ZMt3RjsQ-unsplash-1008x1536.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/02\/terence-burke-WV7ZMt3RjsQ-unsplash-1344x2048.jpg 1344w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/02\/terence-burke-WV7ZMt3RjsQ-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What happens to leadership when group members conform too much?
