"In order to be a well-rounded leader, military leaders must know how to be better followers and know how to best lead and manage followers. If there are leaders and managers, there must be followers. To best articulate the dynamics between the leader, manager and follower, let’s define what these words mean, based on their roles and the processes: Follower: A person who accepts guidance, command or leadership to assist in achieving goals and accomplishing tasks. Manager: A person charged with impersonally enabling task execution or subsets of an organization. Leader: Anyone who by virtue of assumed role or assigned responsibility inspires and influences people by providing purpose. Followership: A reciprocal process of leadership. This term refers to the capacity or willingness to follow within a team or organization. Management: An impersonal functioning process that controls and synchronizes internal structures, processes, procedures and systems. Leadership: The activity of influencing people by providing purpose, direction and motivation to accomplish the mission and improve the organization."
