Ashna Mehta – Integration Paper After reading the Atlantic piece on the importance of friendship, what do you find yourself
expecting from your own friends? How has this shifted over time? I really resonated with Kate Johnson’s description of how for our “real diehard friend” we would go the extra mile and do the “hard work of looking at their minds and hearts in this kind of granular way and actions” because that friendship is genuinely intimate and helps us feel freedom and connection at the same time, which is such a special and rare feeling that only friendships can truly provide. My own closest friendships have given me this feeling. The fact that with my closest friendships there is very little pressure or expectations of how much time has to be spent and how often with someone that we also have the freedom to also explore ourselves. Friendships, unlike other relationships, help us understand who we are more rather than become a part of who we are as compared to our relationships with our family and romantic partners. This is really impactful in leadership because it helps us become better leaders. The way friendships help us understand ourselves, we are also able to gauge how we are as leaders, which ultimately helps us become better leaders. My friendships have helped me become a leader because even when I lead the student council in my high school, I used to talk to my best friend about my position. She listened to me talk about my frustrations about managing student issues and helped me realize where they are coming from by reminding me of myself and what I would have done in their position. This way friends give us the space to really grow as leaders and explore ourselves comfortably and intimately.
How do meaningful friendships, of the type described by Kate Johnson in the interview, impact leadership? How have they done so or not done so for you? Kate Johnson's portrayal of the extent to which we go the extra mile for our closest friends resonated deeply with me. The level of intimacy in these genuine relationships allows us to truly understand each other's minds and hearts, which gives us a sense of both freedom and
connection that is rare and precious. My own closest friendships have provided me with this
feeling. Unlike other relationships, there is little pressure or expectation regarding the amount of time we spend with one another, giving us the space to explore ourselves as individuals. Friendships can help us understand ourselves better, in contrast to our relationships with family and romantic partners, which can cause us to lose our sense of self.
This understanding can also make us better leaders. As leaders, we are able to assess our own leadership qualities by observing how we behave in our friendships. My friendships have aided me in becoming a leader by providing me with a sounding board to discuss my role in leading the student council at my high school. My best friend listened as I shared my struggles in managing student issues and reminded me of my own past behavior in similar situations, allowing me to understand the students' perspectives. This way, friends can offer us a comfortable and intimate space in which to grow and explore ourselves as leaders.

As the director of strategy at Farecom, a regional fibre glass manufacturer, Jonathon spent all his
time trying to get his new team to make it through a meeting without the tension level becoming
unbearable. Six of the top-level managers involved seemed determined to turn the company
around, but the seventh seemed equally determined to sabotage the process. Forget camaraderie.
There had been three meetings so far, and Jonathon hadn't even been able to get everyone on the
same side of an issue. Farecom, Inc., was in trouble-not deep trouble, but enough for its CEO,
Tom King, to make strategic repositioning Jonathon's top and only task. In the last 15 months,
though, sales and earnings had flattened. "You have one responsibility as Farecom's new
director of strategy," Tom had said to Jonathon on his first day. "That's to put together a team of
our top people, one person from each division, and have a comprehensive plan for the company's
strategic realignment up, running, and…

Group behavior is a fascinating aspect of social psychology that explores how individuals interact within various group settings. One significant phenomenon within group behavior is social facilitation, which suggests that the presence of others can enhance individual performance on simple or well-learned tasks, but may hinder performance on complex or novel tasks. Additionally, group polarization occurs when individuals in a group become more extreme in their views or decisions after discussing them with like-minded others. This amplification of initial inclinations within a group setting can lead to both positive outcomes, such as increased commitment to a shared cause, or negative consequences, such as heightened conflict or polarization.
Understanding these dynamics is crucial for navigating group settings effectively and fostering constructive interactions among members.
Question: How do social facilitation and group polarization contribute to the dynamics of decision- making…
