Leadership that Empowers: How Strategic Planning Relates to Followership

Article "Leadership of Empowerment: Relationship between Strategic Planning and Followers" Brumm and Drury (2013) examined the relationship between the leadership plan and its impact on followers. In the last lesson, much of the discussion focused on empowerment. Obviously, one of the attributes of the director is the ability to grant members authority. This white paper examines the results of strategic planning and its impact on followers. According to Burns (1978), "Followers need to follow leaders and leaders to follow" (Brumm & Drury 2013, page 17).

Talented believers can be protected from devastating leadership. Many charismatic leaders use their influence destructively, and the evil character of personality worship has proved the importance of empowerment. Deceptive and charismatic leaders produce false sense of security, support of immoral beliefs, and ultimately unethical behavior that leads to organization loss. By using believers to believe and reward blind people who have never set up destructive cult leaders so far, history is full of dark side explanations of charismatic leadership. American Jones Town Massacre (1978), Aum Shinrikyo Sarin's Tokyo Attack of Sarin (1995), and the local Sky Kingdom Cult organization are just a few of the cult organizations based on noncritical and invalid believers.

Leaders and followers can be distinguished by their behavioral nature, but they are interrelated. Leadership can be inherited or incorporated. Leadership skills are the most important aspect of today's competitive world. Accurate leadership is essential not only in the corporate world but also in education, economics, and politics. Meanwhile, a believer is a group of people or people who ask leaders to gain a positive direction of life.
