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.
Wise leaders understand that the single greatest determinant of whether followers will ever own a vision deeply is the extent to which whose followers believe the leader will own it.
It is only when we have ceased to be the followers of our followers that we comprehend how meaningless followers are.
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.

Respect for leaders by followers can't be mandated; it must be earned. It has to be given to leaders by their followers.
A leader's job is to develop committed followers. Bad leaders destroy their followers' sense of commitment.
Leaders have followers. The primary role of a leader is to convey to those followers a sense of purpose, vision, and mission.
Trust is perhaps the most critical single building block underlying effectiveness. Without trust leaders do not have followers. Without trust, leaders are impotent despite great rhetoric or splendid ideas. Trust rests on the belief among followers that the leader is transparent: What you see is what there is. Trust means followers believe there is no duplicity; no manipulation just to satisfy the leader's ego. Very simply: The effective leader is transparent; that's why that person is trusted.
Trust is the emotional glue that binds followers and leaders together.
All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive, evil thing. Leaders destroy the followers and followers destroy the leaders. You have to be your own teacher and your own disciple. You have to question everything that man has accepted as valuable, as necessary.
If you can raise up leaders, you will always have followers, but if you can't raise up leaders, you will only have followers.
Leaders are leaders only as long as they have the respect and loyalty of their followers.
the best leaders try to train their followers themselves to become leaders. ... they wish to be leaders of leaders.
There are leaders and there are followers. Followers follow leaders and leaders follow their heart
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.
