1FOLLOWERSHIP STYLE
From what I can assess based on my responses in the questionnaire, I am an
exemplary follower. This is because it could be clearly figured out from the questionnaire
that I am an active participant in the organization that I work in. I am highly energized and
committed to my work and inspire others through the enthusiasm that I possess. My leader
does not have to specifically point out the tasks that I need to perform on priority, since my
critical thinking abilities ensure that I am able enough to identify that for myself. This
commitment of mine makes me more valuable than most of my other competitors.
Furthermore, my ability to think independently makes sure that I do not fumble while doing
tasks that go beyond my job role. This sets me apart from the rest of the group, alongside the
fact that even when I am not the leader in a group, I do not hold back on working hard. In
fact, my performance still manages to overshadow the fact that I am not the leader, by
producing high quality work under any circumstance.
An exemplary follower is he who works under the leader with such critical and
independent thinking, that it sets him apart from the rest of the group, and earns the trust of
his leader that he would be producing quality work even without any supervision. He is
actively participative in nature, able to produce quality work. From the above reflection of
my questionnaire responses, my traits clearly comply with the requirements of being an
exemplary follower, thereby cementing my claim of being one.
