WⅣ:About chapter 4 of leading at the edge

From this chapter and my paper, there are two types to keep the harmony among the members when selecting the members. Firstly, in L@E, Shackleton gathered the member from so many different area: physician, scientist, seamen, and artists. He prepared for not only the unexpected situation in the South pole.
However, That might caused conflict and disharmony, because they had different perspective. He proposed the ceremony of "hair-cut " to create common identity to deal with this problem.

On the other hand, in my paper, Shigeru Yoshida also gathered the member from different ministries and government offices. However His way to keep harmony among his cabinet was exclusive.
Yoshida mainly focused on the cooperation of his cabinet. He alternated the members of his cabinet quite often. During his term of over seven years, Yoshida appointed over 80 people to cabinet positions. He used the appointive power to “reward loyal party members and punish disloyal members”

Each strategy have weak points. If you took Shacleton's way, you might have the risk of internal disunity without good way. If you took Yoshida's way, you might be criticized as cruel person.
