Followers need to see how things will get better and what that future might look like. Leaders need to build that foundation of stability, and hope sits on top of that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers. Are the followers reaching their potential? Are they learning? Serving? Do they achieve the required results? Do they change with grace? Manage conflict?
To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't know where he is going.
If you are a leader, you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it - young or old, successful or less-than-successful, unknown or famous - is changed by it.
Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.
The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.
Followers are the customers of the Higher Ground Leader, who strives to meet or exceed the outer and inner needs of followers.
I consider myself a leader. I am not a follower.
Well, the first quality of being a good leader is you have to be able to follow. See, a good leader can't just be the leader all the time, I have to be able to follow.
Any leader needs to be constantly interested in what's going on in the world, and constantly ready - even when things are going well - to change.
Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders.
