Section 2: The Leader-Follower Interaction 

• Analyze how followers can influence the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of leaders.
  • Hint: Your analysis should consider how followers empower or enable leaders’ behaviors (for good or bad).
• Illustrate how followers can effectively communicate and collaborate with a leader whose style is not consistent with what they desire or with a leader they do not admire.
• Propose at least three strategies for how leaders can better empower and support followers in meeting their goals.
• These resources focus on the interdependency between followers and leaders. As you explore these resources, reflect on this statement: Good leaders need good followers, and good followers need a good leader. Would you agree with that?
