Followers were ¿passive¿ and of no  consequence in planning the strategic direction of  organisations. However, contemporary research is  now acknowledging that following is just as  important as leading if not more so. This study  investigates the styles, roles, relationships and  impact of an organisation on three participants in  senior managerial positions.Four research questions  which emerged from the aims of the study provide  direction for case study research. The findings  reveal that effective following, far from being  unimportant is crucial to the vision of an  organisation, influences leadership and sees followers participating in the dual role of leading  and following at different times. Further research  in this area of ¿new leadership¿ is recommended.  This study is a sequel to a previous LAP  publication Wearing a Coat of Many colours:  Archbishop Philip Wilson practising the art of  servant leadership by the same author.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838309149\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA study of follower styles, roles and relationships in an organisational context\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838309149","offer_id":39469197819997,"sku":"9783838309149","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/145c4a5a-ab0c-4a80-8b6d-bf4def5b3219.jpg?v=1758086188","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/following-the-leader-von-susan-marie-melhuish","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
