Followership Leadership.

The hierarchical leadership culture is leader-centric in that it places more importance on leadership than follower-ship. Institutional organizations seek out leaders who can gather followers who will follow the leader whom they have indoctrinated with their belief system. Jesus did not recruit leaders for His ministry, He invited people to be followers by His words "follow me". A believers fundamental identity is: I am a follower.

There are to many leaders who have followers who follow them as they lead for Christ, but their leading more often than not does not lead them to Christ. If a leader is not a follower of Christ, he is not a godly leader even though he may be know as a leader for Christ that has many followers. Paul's words were "follow me as I follow Christ". If a leader is a follower of religion instead of a follower of Christ he is not to be followed by believers in Christ!

Followership is more dynamic than leadership because without followership there is no leadership. Jesus is the LEADER, believers...all believers, should be followers, believers should only follow leaders who are followers of Christ!
