In simple definition followership means:

1. the ability or willingness to follow a leader.
2. a group of followers or supporters; following.


Followership is the actions of someone in a subordinate role. It can also be considered as a specific set of skills that complement leadership, a role within a hierarchical organization, a social construct that is integral to the leadership process, or the behaviors engaged in while interacting with leaders in an effort to meet organizational objectives.[1] As such, followership is best defined as an intentional practice on the part of the subordinate to enhance the synergetic interchange between the follower and the leader.

In organizations, “leadership is not just done by the leader, and followership is not just done by followers.” [2] This perspective suggests that leadership and followership do not operate on one continuum, with one decreasing while the other increases. Rather, each dimension exists as a discrete dimension, albeit with some shared competencies.[3]

The study of followership is an emerging area within the leadership field that helps explain outcomes. Specifically, followers play important individual, relational, and collective roles in organizational failures and successes.[4][5][6] “If leaders are to be credited with setting the vision for the department or organization and inspiring followers to action, then followers need to be credited with the work that is required to make the vision a reality.”[7]

The term follower can be used as a personality type, as a position in a hierarchy, as a role, or as a set of traits and behaviors. Studies of followership have produced various theories including trait, behavioral attributes, role, and constructionist theories in addition to exploring myths or misunderstandings about followership.

nadezda [96]

Answer: engaged in undesirable treatment short of terminating him

Explanation: A supervisor subjecting his worker to undesirable treatment which can be overt or subtle, such as demotion, reduction in salary, reassignment, negative job actions etc. without outright termination is often humiliating, demoralizing and a basis for protests and revolts. Such an instance or situation is more likely to lead to lawsuits against the organisation known as a retaliation suit in protest against unfair treatment on an employee for engaging in activities that are legally protected (which forms the basis of retaliation lawsuit).

Discuss how your status, mass media, roles, and groups have influenced your self-identity, values, and behaviors
IceJOKER [234]
We have come to a certain time in which most of what we do are basically based on what we see, hear, and observe from other through the social media, the mass media, and other influential groups. I admit, I am one of those easily influenced by the mentioned media. However, it is really up to us to stand firm on our beliefs and never waver even in times when our principles are put to test.
