and followership skills. If we fail to have effective followers,
we will also have ineffective leaders.

Five Essential Qualities of Effective Followership
Self Management- This quality refers to the ability to determine one’s own goals within
a large context and to decide what role to take at any given time.
Committed- to the organization and to a purpose beyond themselves, effective
followers strive to excel at everything they do.
Competent- build their competence and focus their efforts for maximum impact. They
strive to reach higher levels of performance and expand themselves.
Integrity- One of the most important characteristics of an effective follower may be the
willingness to tell the truth. It is imperative that followers provide truthful information to
their leaders.
Initiative- Initiative is motivation, determination, perseverance, and risk-taking. Being a
good follower requires more than just meeting the standards.
Followership

Discipline
Given the nature of our business, discipline is
crucial. Orders may not be popular, but there
comes a point where members must carry
them out without question. If you do not
enforce and maintain good order and
discipline, you are guilty of undermining the
success of your unit.

Conclusion
Wouldn’t it be great if we knew the secret to
motivating people? As NCOs, our jobs would be
so much easier if we had the ability to motivate
people whenever we wanted. We have the
responsibility as NCOs to commit to the
organization’s goals, but how do we convince our
Airmen to embrace those goals even when the
goals are not very convenient? We must continue
to hone our leadership abilities and strive to learn
and adapt new leadership styles and techniques.
