“Success for good followers relates to performance and goal achievement not personal recognition and self promotion. It is difficult but the best organizations tie advancement and reward to performance and goal achievement as hard as that may be to do” (McCallum, 2013)
“followers can “make or break” the leader influencing if and how goals are accomplished” (Moran, 2014)
