How followers are creating change and changing leaders
Harvard Business Press 2008
The world is a place where everyone should have its place and its aims. The majority of the population is followers and being able to understand them is the key quality of a leader.
In the antique Rome the emperors in order to control the crowds gave them the great gladiator games so they will not think of hunger and oppression.
Things have not changed that much nowadays only that now things are not that open to be understood. Once the kings gave people what they thought was better to control them but today’s leaders try to understand their followers and make what they want in order to control or guide them. How they do this and what their purposes are is what makes a good leader or a bad one.
Hi Rezart,
ReplyDeleteI want only to add something in your statements. Followers create change because there is phrase which says that: "Every nation deserves (merit) his Leader".
As the followers changes their mentality or point of view, at the same time the leaders also are inclined to change.

Hi Rezart,
ReplyDeleteMaybe today's leaders try to understand followers because followers know their power. In the companies, if a leader do not have good relationship between his team, it will not be possible to lead employees and we can guess alternative results for leader. For that reason leaders have changed their behaviors.
This is the result of followers' behavior and I completely agree with Shpendi that followers create change and leaders are inclined to change.

Hi Rezi,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to add something, that sometimes the leaders in order to control the followers easier they leave them un-educated. We have seen this example not only in Albania but everywhere. The more the followers go educated and they start to think more then they become aware of their power and what they can do.
Stay good
