FOLLOWERSHIP
People do not follow leaders, they follow effective followers

Around a team meeting table the leader asks a question and,
although there may be many with questions, no-one will speak, until
the effective follower asks their question first, thereby giving
permission to everyone else to follow - not the leader.

This does not mean the leader’s role is redundant, but it does
question the main focus of the leaders’ attention. Leaders need to be
highly aware of the followers they are creating with their management
style and spend greater levels of energy and focus in nurturing the
environment to allow Effective followership to flourish. Without this
they run the risk of failing to achieve authenticity, a key leadership
trait.
