You made a few mistakes here. I think it is carelessness and not paying attention to details.

Comment by S L: Why is there so much space at the top?

Chapter 12

After reading Chapter 12, I learned that followership are is a very critical element part of leadership. The process of guiding requires the process of following. Followers and leaders build leadership relationships together (Lapierre & Carsten, 2014). The word "follow" has different meanings. For example, when soldiers obey their leaders, followers in the military are viewed positively. On the other hand, when an individual follows a cult leader, the follower is viewed negatively. It is clear from these illustrations that followers can be either negative or positive. Comment by S L: Good. Comment by S L: Your citations and references should be within five years. In addition to that, I would much prefer you use the textbook instead of some external sources. Comment by S L: No additional spaces in between paragraphs.

An important point for me in this chapter is that followership have moral significance. This means that followers are not morally neutral. Like leaders, followers have a responsibility to consider the right and wrong of their actions. Leaders and followers work together to achieve common goals and objectives, and both have a moral obligation to those goals and objectives (Lapierre & Carsten, 2014). This reminds me of the year 2020, when I volunteered at a local restaurant in North Vancouver as a front desk volunteer. I played the role of a follower to lead my boss's company to run the restaurant. I think both leaders and followers work together for the good of the community. This relationship is built on respect, openness and trust. Comment by S L: There is a difference between followers and followership. Followers are the people. Followership is their actions or behaviors. Comment by S L: This sentence is not clear.

I will build a following in my leadership practice. I think at home we should help our families. When we are in the company, we should help our teams at work.

The concept of followers has to do with the culture. I think leaders must be transparent and open to build followers. The concept of followers can also be rooted in other cultures, such as those that support change. Effective followers can engage and adapt to change and serve the various needs of the organization.
