Encourage Your Followers

An interesting aspect of leadership is encouraging your followers. Not only do you want to be a good leader but you also want to improve the abilities of your followers. A good leader aids their followers in bettering themselves and motivating them to take challenges.

Oprah can be a good example of this idea, not only does she strive to better her life but she aids her followers in finding ways to better theirs. Many topics on her show involve normal, average people that do extraordinary things. This helps show her viewers that they can also do great things even though currently they are living a normal life. Everyone has the ability to be great and above average, but do you take the opportunities to do this.

In return to a leader motivating their followers to accomplish amazing achievements, followers also need to have a drive to obtain these accomplishments. Therefore it is also the followers responsibility to take opportunities and strive to do better.


As a leader what can you do for your followers? As a follower, what can you do to be bold and different?
