Followers and Support

Goals

Where the personal goals of the followers are aligned with the direction that the leaders is pointing, then it seems like a good idea to follow the leader, especially if it looks like they will be able to help me get what I want.

If I look at a leader and they seem to want the same thing that I do, then I will assume that they will want to support me in my strivings.

Leaders should thus take time to understand the personal goals of their would-be followers, and thus find some workable combination of gently shifting or reframing their own and the follower goals so they align.

Support

I will also follow a person who actively helps me to get what I want. In my seeking to achieve my goals, I often cannot do it all myself and need the support of others, who may lend a hand, money authority or otherwise help me in my work.

When goals are aligned, it makes sense for leaders to support followers. It can also be a good idea to provide support for other goals, which both demonstrates care and sets up an exchange. When you give me support, I will, in return, support you. Leaders actively support followers and help them get what they want.
