Kelley’s article explains and elaborates on the thought that “we tend to lose sight of the people these leaders will lead”. The article does a good job on highlighting the importance of followers and how vital they are to a groups success.<\/p>\n
Something that stuck out to me in the article is that essentially, everyone is a follower unless they have achieved a leadership position like a CEO. In many cases, one might be a leader of a certain group. However, they serve as a follower to another group. Many people strive to climb the corporate ladder, but wouldn’t that be toxic towards the groups success. If someone is focused on how to create greater success for themselves, rather than focusing on the group task at hand, wouldn’t that create negative side effects to productivity?<\/p>\n
Another point that was interesting was that “self-confident followers see colleagues as allies and leaders as equals”. After reading this, it also made me question why the follower doesn’t desire a leadership role if they view themselves as equals. Or rather that the follower uses this tactic for self-confidence in order to be more successful as a follower for the group which is also practical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
