Followership

Followers in the book are presented as "powerful" persons in a company. In fact they are. The followers have that hidden power of non acting according to the instructions or rules, sometimes by mistake and sometimes by intent. This last one may result harmful for an organization. I remember in one of the trainings i have done, the lecture was explaining a topic: Effecting the effectors of the decision makers. He meant the followers because are them who with their interventions can deviate the decisions of the high management. Or from another point of view, a smart dependent can smoothly get e "yes" from his boss even when the boss is that kind of person that always says no and consider himself a god.
In few words followers are really powerful persons not only in a company but also in high level state management. Leaders must take their opinion under consideration.
