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.

Why is it imperative that humans alter their consumptive behaviors and practices to more sustainable ones?
wel
Humans, as we know, are wasteful. We do not take into account how much we pollute the planet with our lifestyles. In order to prevent pollution and waste buildup and resource consumption, we can still lead comfortable lives but use sustainable options for our daily needs.
Examples:
Reusable grocery bags, straws, and water bottles. Eco friendly razors. Naturally produced makeup. Solar power. Rechargeable batteries.
Anything that can last longer. However, as you read this, you might think “but isn’t this bad for companies since you are not making consistent purchases?” Yeah. But it is more efficient for our planet. Sadly, we do not know of these alternatives because we will be spending less and helping more. And companies want you to spend more and more. :(
