Leadership is studied and analyzed so that effective practices can be taught and applied in today's organizations. The concept of leadership has been expanded to discuss the role of the follower in the leader-follower relationship. Although leading is often viewed as an active role, following can have a negative connotation, especially when viewed as a passive, subordinate position. However, following can be a choice, and the difference between leader and follower lies in activities rather than abilities (Wren, p.201). An organization having effective followers is just as important to success as having effective leaders. Hersey and Blanchard describe this relationship as dynamic and use situational leadership (R) as a model for the leader to improve the performance of their subordinates. Manz and Sims describe a historical view of leader types that has evolved to view the superleader as the most effective type for our culture today. The role of the superleader is to enable his followers to become leaders themselves. The situational leadership model may contain the word "Leadership", but it is primarily concerned with effective management practices and does not address the development of the follower role. There is a difference between managing and leading. In Managerial Roles, H. Mintzberg describes 10 roles, grouped under the categories of interpersonal, informational and decision-making roles, that a manager must possess. An effective leader must also possess these skills, in addition to having a big picture vision, clearly communicating these goals, and motivating followers to work toward them (Wren, p.378). Leadership is also about leading change. Without change, leadership is just managing the status quo (MacNeil, Cavanagh, Silcox, p.6). There is nothing wrong with becoming a successful manager, just as there is a lot of value in being an effective follower. The role of follower and subordinate is very different in terms of ability and choice. Subordinates are seen as passive, lacking initiative and responsibility. The image of the sheep comes to mind, as followers are more active and engage in more critical thinking (Wren, p.195). Robert Kelley further describes that effective followers possess good self-management skills, abilities, and motivations, which are exactly the same qualities found in effective leaders. This relationship between the leader and follower is defined by the role they play, since an effective follower has the skills to change positions with the leader..
