Followership Quotes Quotes

“Leadership is often described as the art of “inspiring,” “motivating,” or “empowering” others. Leaders are labelled “visionaries,” “catalysts,” and “change agents.” Although these words carry a positive connotation, the fundamental purpose remains the same—to influence the actions and mindset of others. “When we try to influence someone, we attempt to affect or change their behaviour, thoughts, or development. Thus, one could argue that leadership is about controlling people but without apparent exertion of force or direct exercise of command.”

“We call politicians representatives in the spirit of democracy, yet many of us also refer to them as leaders, suggesting that we, the people, are expected to be led.”

“Scholars must make both scientific and philosophical decisions when studying leadership. In other words, before they can begin their research, they must decide what they believe constitutes a leader. That will then define the basis of their research.”

“if we look at followership as a complement to leadership, we’re likely to unintentionally adapt our theories so they fit our predetermined view of what a leader is.”
