Leadership is widely researched concept because it has attracted attention of many scholars who have been trying to find the most appropriate ways of guiding organisations around the world. The other side of the coin of leadership is followership. One cannot be a successful leader if he cannot be a good follower. Leaders are not born in the positions they finds themselves in within the public and private sector. They start from somewhere, which means that at some point they have to be followers. According to Kellerman (2007), promotion of individuals is often determined by leaders. When a leader is selecting an individual who should be promoted to higher positions within their organisations, they often look for good followers. They look for people who are able to understand and follow their instructions in the best ways possible. It is through such promotions, based on good followership, that one finds self in senior positions of leadership. According to Kelly (2008), followers play a critical role in the development of any organisation if they embrace their positions and remain committed to doing what is expected of them. We need to understand the fact that the most successful organisations have learnt how to harness the power of followership in order to achieve success.

Whether you are working in the production, engineering, design, or sales and administration support, you need to understand these steps and follow them to ensure that you are actively engaged in contributing your ideas and expertise to your organisation. The Piktochart below shows these steps that need to be followed. Figure 1: The art of followership. As shown in the above chart, the first step towards being a good follower is to conduct a personal analysis and to determine your position and role as a follower. If you are an engineer, clearly understand your role within the organisation. As an engineer, your role may be to design a given product within the company. You need to critically review that role and determine how your new ideas can help you do that work in a better way than what you are doing currently. The next step, as shown in our chart, is to identify fellow followers. Using the example of the engineer, you should identify fellow engineers who are working in your line. As Hurwits and Hurwits (2015) say, to be actively engaged in contributing ideas to your organisation as a follower, one needs to start a discussion with fellow followers to find ways of bringing change. The next step is to determine the relationship with fellow followers. The main task at this stage will be to identify individuals whose roles are directly related to yours within this firm. At this stage, you will be trying to link your responsibilities to that of colleagues within your department and other departments related to your department. You should try to visualise how you as a follower, can work together with other followers to develop new ideas that can help transform y
