Hi,
One statement that has been bothering me for quite a while is: "Good Followers make Good Leaders".
And then I came across discussions here at CITEHR, like "Do you consider yourself as a leader or follower?"
Sets me thinking... everyone wants to be a leader, and if hypthetically speaking, everyone was to achieve what they wanted (i.e., become a leader), who will they lead? Who will look upto them as leaders?
Is it not good to be a responsible follower... follower of your role model, follower of the defined process/methodology/policy, follower of market dynamics, follower of customer business plan... by a follower I dont only mean, following a boss.
The mad chase to be a leader vs. in turn being insensitive to others - is a there a relationship between these two?
Now when I read the first line again "Good Followers make Good Leaders", the notion gets stronger in me.
Lets debate.
