Followership and Leadership The concept of followership has a very important part to play in the success of any group task. However, this is often forgotten. This reflects modern culture’s emphasis on leadership and its tendency to overlook the less glamorous but vital role of followership. Unfortunately advertising ascribes leadership with all the positive aspects of success and falsely depicts followers as docile and impotent. “Always be a leader, never a follower” is emblazoned on one leading cyclist’s shoes. Bill Gates may have founded and led Microsoft but could not have achieved success without the followers that worked for him. Health services around the world would not function without the support of the majority of their staff who are not in leadership positions.
