Often, in a given project team or network, one sees leadership roles shifting among various members at various times. Attempts to fit these into traditional views of "leader" and "follower" don't quite work. It's more like Twitter: the "leader" has "followers" - but the "followers" are empowered to alter the relationship unilaterally, and the "leader" must continually earn the consent of the "followers."

James M Strock

Not many of us will be leaders; and even those who are leaders must also be followers much of the time. This is the crucial role. Followers judge leaders. Only if the leaders pass that test do they have any impact. The potential followers, if their judgment is poor, have judged themselves. If the leader takes his or her followers to the goal, to great achievements, it is because the followers were capable of that kind of response.

Garry Wills

It is only when we have ceased to be the followers of our followers that we comprehend how meaningless followers are.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I would say that Jesus Christ and his followers were a cult, Buddha and his followers were a cult and Mohammed and his followers were a cult. Every religion starts out as a cult and if it becomes 'box office', it is accepted.

Frederick Lenz

Religion is for followers... Followers and puppets.

Ellen Hopkins

Somebody with a billion followers can tweet, 'See my movie,' and it can still tank. Followers don't always translate into success because I think people are too savvy. When something takes off, it's because people are connecting to it - not because someone with a lot of followers says to care about it.

Kevin Bacon

Leaders evoke emotional connections in followers only to the extent that the followers are emotionally needy.

Judith M Bardwick

A leader's job is to develop committed followers. Bad leaders destroy their followers' sense of commitment.

Dean Smith

Leaders have followers. The primary role of a leader is to convey to those followers a sense of purpose, vision, and mission.

Colin Powell

When you say that I have followers, let me assure you that I do not want followers, nor would I ever encourage the idea of following.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Followers are the customers of the Higher Ground Leader, who strives to meet or exceed the outer and inner needs of followers.

Lance Secretan

I had maybe 200 followers when I started. A bunch of radio stations were like, 'Uhhhhhh, my daughter has more followers than her'.

Daya

Those who like myself, consider themselves to be followers of Buddha, should practice as much as we can. To followers of other religious traditions, I would like to say, 'Please practice your own religion seriously and sincerely.' And to non-believers, I request you to try to be warm-hearted. I ask this of you because these mental attitudes actually bring us happiness.

Dalai Lama

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?

Max de Pree

'The Fire in The Booth' exposed me to a wider audience. I had hundreds of thousands of followers, loyal followers before that, that's been following me on the journey.

Michael Dapaah

The leader is one who mobilizes others toward a goal shared by leaders and followers... Leaders, followers and goals make up the three equally necessary supports for leadership.
