Are You Creating Fans or Followers
As a leader are your creating fans or followers?
Fans are fickle
Followers are loyal
Fans need to be coddled & catered to
Followers need to be inspired & challenged
Fans bail out when you have a bad day
Followers stick with you through the good and bad
Fans want to win so they give up on you when you lose
Followers also want to win but they want to win together
You’ll probably always have some of both depending on the environment you lead, however remember when I talked about influencers vs. leaders? This is where that distinction starts to take shape.
Influencers create fans
Leaders create followers
Be a leader!
in Leadership
What a great difference between a fan and follower. I think a person starts being a fan then moves into being a follower if the person is a leader.
