A Level of playing field
To various degrees, Harvard Business School professor Abraham Zalezink, professor Robert Kelley, executive coach Ira Chaleff and Barbara Kellerman have all argued that leader with even some understanding of what drives their subordinates can be a great help to themselves, their followers and their organizations.
Types of Followers typologies
By Abraham Zalezink in (1965)
By Robert Kelley in (1992)
By Ira Chaleff in (1995)
He distinguish among the different kinds of subordinates, he placed them along two axes: •Dominances and SubmissionOr Activity and Passivity
He distinguished followers from one another according to factors such as motivation and behavior in the workplace.
He classified subordinates according to the degree to which they supported leaders and the degree to which they challenged them.
Abraham Zalezink followership styles
• Controlling but passive, in part because they feel guilty about privately wanting to dominate
• Rebellious, sometimes spontaneous and courageous
• Want to submit to the control of the authority figure
• Care little or not at all about what happens at work and behave accordingly

Kinds of followership styles By Barbara Kellerman In 2007
•Completely detached•There to do what they must to get and nothing more•Alienated from the system, the group the organization•Silent and ignored
Isolates
Observe, but do not participate.Make deliberate decisions to stand aside and
disengage from leaders and the group dynamic.Their withdrawal is a declaration of neutrality that
amount to support for whoever.They do nothing even when doing something is not
especially costly or especially risky.
Bystanders
Are in some way engaged.They either clearly favour their leaders and
groups and organization or they are clearly opposed.
They invest their engagement to try have an impact.
By and leaders want followers who are participants assuming they are in support and not in opposition.
There are those followers who whiles generally supportive of their leaders and of the organization of which they are members, nevertheless go their own way.
participates
Feel strongly about their leaders and act accordingly.They are eager, energetic, and engaged.They work either on behalf of their leaders or to
undermine and unseat them.They are either a major resource or a major bane.They care a great deal.a. They care about their leaders, pro and con.b. They care about each other, presumably pro.c. They care about the whole of which they are a part.• They should be watched and they should be judged.
Activists
Are prepared to die if necessary for their causes, whether an individual, an idea, or both.
Deeply devoted to their leaders or ready to them from positions of power, authority, and influence by any means necessary.
Defined by their dedication.Is all consuming it is who you are it
determines what you do.They are only so many diehards a society can
take and, there are only so many followers willing to play the part.

Types of followers
Good and Bad followersGood followers will actively support a leader
who is good (effective and ethical) and will actively oppose a leader who is bad (ineffective and unethical). Good followers invest time and energy in making informed judgement about who their leaders are and what they espouse they take the appropriate action
Conversely , bad followers will do nothing whatsoever to contribute to the group or organization. Or they will actively oppose a leader who is good. They will actively support a leader who is bad.
Leaders and followers as inseparable, indivisible, and impossible to conceive the without the other.
A good leader listens and talks to the team to find the individual strengths of each team member.
Activist follower strongly support their leader and managers .
Passive follower not strongly support their leader and managers and never do anything.
A sign of a good leader is not how many follower you have , but how many leader you create.
