Followership Styles

CONFORMIST FOLLOWER

Approximately 20-30% of the population falls into this style.

Conformist followers often say “yes” when they really want to say “no.”

They are eager to take orders and please others.

They assume that the leader’s position of power entitles them to obedience.

They do not question the social order and find comfort in structure.

ALIENTATED FOLLOWER

Approximately 15-25% of the population falls into this style.

They think independently and critically, but are not active in carrying out the role of a follower.

They might find themselves disengaging from the group at times.

They may see themselves as a victim who has been treated unfairly.

PRAGMATIC FOLLOWER

Approximately 25-35% of the population falls into this style.

Pragmatic followers stay in the middle of the road. They question a leader’s decisions, but not too often or too openly.

They perform the required tasks, but seldom do more than is asked or expected.

They may live by the slogan “better safe than sorry.”

PASSIVE FOLLOWER

Approximately 5-10% of the population falls into this style.

Passive followers are the exact opposite of exemplary followers.

They look to the leader to do their thinking for them.

They do not carry out their assignments with enthusiasm.

They lack initiative and a sense of responsibility, which requires contact direction.

EXEMPLARY FOLLOWER Exemplary followers exercise

independent, critical thinking, separate from the group or leader.

Second, they are actively engaged, using their talents for the benefit of the organization, even when confronted with bureaucracy or other non-contributing members.

transport. A drunkard person is beating his wife in public view. Your reactions.

You are walking in a semi-isolated road, along with your sister/brother. 3 persons are passing un-parliamentary comments. Your reactions.

You are waiting to board a public transport bus. There are kids and elderly persons waiting for the bus. When bus is arrived there is total chaos for boarding

You are in the interview panel. You feel that the person who was interviewed is knowledgeable and apt for the job. But other committee members are blatantly refusing his selection. What will be your reaction?

RATE THEIR LEADERSHIP QUALITIES IN THE SCALE OF 1 – 10

Sachin Tendulkar is stalwart and his performance is declining. You are in Dhoni’s position? What will you do? How will you do?

Rohit Sharma’s performance is on downswing? You are in Dhoni’s position? What will you do? How will you do?

Mahesh Bhupathi refused to partner Leander Paes in Olympics. You are sports administrator. Your reactions.
