SUMMA
RY
Leadership and followership go hand in
hand. We cannot have a leader without a
follower and vice versa. Where there are
no leaders, there will be lack of order and
sense of direction, chaos in most cases.
We can therefore say that the relation
between leadership and followership is
straight.
