An interesting and insightful article on the importance of being a good follower.

Everyone talks and writes about on how to be a leader, but if all are leaders, then who will you lead:-)?

Key traits to be a good follower:

• Challenge the leader by thinking for yourself and present your point of views,

• Give constructive criticism,

• Be positive,

• Be energetic.

In a nutshell, behave like a leader in waiting.

Below you can follow the path to the Economist article on the subject :-).
