The word “leader” is not used in the textbook’s definition of followership. Why not? Explain your thinking.

What will be an ideal response?


The term “leader” is not explicitly used in the definition of followership as presented in the textbook to recognize the notion that when people are in groups, leadership can emerge from anywhere. In this sense, a single person can be a follower in the group in one context and in another context may step up and take a leadership role. The flexibility in the definition allows for these leader/follower roles to be played dynamically versus viewing group members in fixed positions.
