Thought leaders are the informed opinion leaders and the go-to people in their field of expertise. They are trusted sources who move and inspire people with innovative ideas; turn ideas into reality, and know and show how to replicate their success.
Followership
Traditional research in leadership has largely relegated followers to the role of passive recipients or, at best, moderators of leader influence and behaviors. However, recent work in the area of followership has begun shifting this focus and emphasizing the possibility that followers actively have an influence over leaders, in particular leader behavior.
What makes a good follower?
- Support and aid the leader/ group
- Awareness of the needs of the group and the expectations
- Able to get a long when needed
- Courage to follow someone
- Critical Thinking
