1. Good followers are finishers. They get the job done, take projects across the finish line and make things happen on their own.
2. Good followers anticipate. They understand what needs to be done next before having to be told, and they are always looking for ways to make the process better.
3. Good followers criticize in private and praise in public.
4. Good followers are trustworthy. When given an assignment, a leader can be assured it will get done. Dependability-this is incredibly important.
5. Good followers are vision copycats. They take on, embody and live out the vision and mission of their leader and of the organization, helping set and model a cultural standard.
6. Good followers make their leader better. They push their leader and know how to "lead up" appropriately and intentionally.
7. Good followers lead themselves. They don't need to be managed and aren't needy. They are self aware and don't need all the attention from the leader.
8. Good followers are principled. They are humble, disciplined and have complete integrity. They know it's not about them, and what you see is what you get.
