Being follower-centric

It is very important that leadership is about the followers, not the leaders. The leader should make his/her followers feel proud to be part of the team and to make them feel that they are an essential part of the team. The following is a quote on how good leadership ensures this:

"Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning."
-Warren Bennis
