ADOPTION OF FOLLOWERSHIP AS A MANAGEMENT STYLE

elf, how you walk, and your general manner. Part of it involves the clothing you wear and your accessories. Grooming, neatness, hairstyle and other personal features also enter into the equation (Hersey et al, 341).

This concept of followership is often overlooked by senior management, when viewing and analyzing the behaviors of lower managers. It is sometimes seen as leading to internal individual resistance and can be used negatively to describe people behavior in the organization as not accepting the project contents and/or management. This may take covert or overt forms. It is common practice that management shortcuts individual resistance with destructive personality explanations, instead of checking for underlying reasons for resisting behavior.

In general, the followership theory of leadership believes in these elements:

* Focus on the inter-personal transactions between managers and employees

* The use of contingent reward to motivate people

* The adherence and maintenance of existing goals, norms, and routines

* Charismatic (transformational) leadership: the transformation of employee behavior, organizational goals, structures, and processes by emphasizing ---

* Visionary and inspirational messages

* Appeal to ideological/religious values

* Display of confidence in self and followers

* Leader expectations for follower self-sacrifice and for performance beyond the call of duty

Internal group resistance describes group behavior within the organization. These groups can be formally or informally organized. A group of electronic specialists for example may resist the plan of being split up into work teams where they have work side by side with mechanical personnel. They consider their status superior to the mechanics status. In a situation like this, if the leader has to manage both of these groups, the "follower" equation would always be in flux.
