What is followership?

It’s defined as the willingness to cooperate in working toward the accomplishment of de

fined goals while demonstrating a high degree of interactive teamwork.

Ten good rules of followership

1. Do not blame the boss
Do not blame your boss for an unpopular decision or policy your Job is to support, not u
ndermine.

2. Do not fight the boss

Fight with your boss if necessary, but do it in private.
Avoid embarrassing situations and never reveal to others what was discussed.
Fight for your people and your organization, but do not roll over on principles or issues that yo
u believe are detrimental to the unit’s mission accomplishment.

3. Use initiative
Use initiative, make the decision and then run it past the boss.
Accomplishing the task lead then back briefing the boss on what you did.

4. Accept responsibility
Accept responsibility whenever offered.

5. Tell the truth and do not quibble

Your boss will be giving advice up the chain of command based on what you say.Might
y oaks from little acorns grow. Another unfortunate human reaction is to hide or cover up mist
akes before they are discovered by others.
Such instances of deceit are minor and not likely to cause misfortune, but it is not hard to ima
gine how similar white lies can easily become magnified.

6. Do your homework
Give your boss all the information needed to make a decision.
When given a problem to solve by the boss, you must become an expert on the subject befor
e you attempt to propose a course of action.

7. Be prepared to implement your own suggestions

When making recommendations, remember who will probably have to implement them.
Remember that you will likely be tasked to implement your own suggestion.Do not propose so
lutions that are impracticable.
8. Keep the boss informed
Keep the boss informed of what is going on in the unit.
People will be reluctant to tell him or her problems and successes. Subordinates who routinel
y drop the boss notes or mention tidbits in passing can really help a boss stay in touch. If ther
e are problems in the unit, do not let the boss be last to know.

9. Fix problems as they occur

If you see a problem, fix it. Do not worry about who gets the blame, or praise.The essen
ce of military life is teamwork. Do your job quietly, confidently and professionally, and trust yo
ur colleagues to do likewise. But if you do come across a problem, just go ahead and take car
e of it. We are all in this together.

10. Put in an honest day work

Put in more than an honest day's work, but never forget the needs of your family. It is a
matter of great pride for us that we have a strong work ethic and are among the most producti
ve societies in the world.
