Question Description
I’m working on a management discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Through followership, individuals follow a leader willingly. For example, in organizations, employees are considered followers while team leads, supervisors, and managers are considered leaders. In organizations, most employees willingly accept following leaders to help them achieve their goals.
In the table below, from Northouse (2022, p. 354), we can see the typologies of followership. The behaviors associated with these noted typologies describe the behaviors of followers.

Thinking about followership and its typologies:
From each typology (Zaleznik, Kelley, Chaleff and Kellerman), select one behavior that defines a follower.
Explain details about each of the four behaviors that you selected. Then, detail what these behaviors mean when applied in an organizational setting.
Determine which leadership style is best suited for each of the selected followers behavior and why.
- Give an example of where (type of job or organization) the followers behaviors that you selected will be most effective.
