If you think you are leading and no one is following, you are only taking a walk . Find out what you are expected to do. Keep the leader informed about your decisions. Verify the accuracy of information you give the leader. Encourage the leader to give you honest feedback. Support the leader"s efforts to make changes. Resist inappropriate influence attempts by the leader. Provide upward coaching and counseling when appropriate. Leaders develop a separate exchange relationship with each individual member. Both the leader and the member define the role of that member. Members need only to comply with formal role requirements, duties, rules, etc. Members seek desirable outcomes that the leader controls such as greater status, influence, benefits. In turn the member is loyal and committed to the leader.
