I’ve been involved in a number of cults both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower but you make more money as a leader.
My dad taught me to be a leader or a follower, and he said follower ain't fun. So I want to be the leader of Bubba Watson.
The first follower is actually an underestimated form of leadership in itself. … The first follower is what transforms a lone nut into a leader.
I think we have to rethink the concept of “leader.” 'Cause “leader” implies “follower.” And, so many- not so many, but I think we need to appropriate, embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for.
Loyalty to the leader reaches its highest peak when the follower has personally grown through the mentorship of the leader.
The most dangerous follower is the one whose defection would destroy the whole party: hence, the best follower.
Moral authority is another way to define servant leadership because it represents a reciprocal choice between leader and follower. If the leader is principle centered, he or she will develop moral authority. If the follower is principle centered, he or she will follow the leader. In this sense, both leaders and followers are followers. Why? They follow truth. They follow natural law. They follow principles. They follow a common, agreed-upon vision. They share values. They grow to trust one another.
I've been a leader practically my whole life. I don't know what it is to follow.
The follower is as important as the leader.
I'm a trendsetter. I'm a leader, not a follower.
Like a lot of people, I have been a leader in some things, and I've been a follower in some things. I know how to work on a team. And most of life, frankly, to get things done you have to get done, you've got to work as a team.
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."
I'm no leader; I'm a little humble follower.
Innovation distinguishes a leader from a follower.
To be an excellent leader, you have to be a superb follower.
You have to learn to be a follower before you become a leader.
