Answer 1

Answer: Juanita is what Kellerman would call an activist follower.

Explanation:

Activists are very committed, invest heavily in people and processes, and are eager to show their support or opposition.

In addition, current followers are influenced by a range of cultural and technological changes that affect what they want and how they perceive and communicate with their supposed leaders.
