There are four essential qualities you need to develop if you want to become a really effective follower.
1. Manage yourself well: The key to being effective as a follower is paradoxically the ability to think for yourself. Followers see themselves as equals to the leader they follow
2.Commit to a higher purpose: You work towards the purpose of the organization, and to certain principles and values outside of yourself. If you see a misalignment with personal values, you may withdraw your support either by changing jobs or by changing leaders
3. Build your strengths: When you have high standards of performance you’re continually learning and updating your skills and abilities. You seek out extra work and responsibilities in order to stretch yourself.
4.You take risks: You are credible, honest and have the courage to speak up. You give credit where due, but also admit mistakes. You’re insightful and candid and willing to take risks. You keep leaders and colleagues honest and informed
