Abstract

Recent trending always consider that astute leadership practice requires followership - they are Yin and Yen of successful leadership practice. However, a successful leadership practice can't isolated from leadership traits and behaviors, leadership personal factors such as identity construct, gender, narcissism level, aesthetic, ethic and justice level, as well as the influence of followership. In this paper, multiple aspects that contributed to the success of the leadership practice are studied. Some important concepts of Leadership is introduced. Components, including leader, follower, communication and situation and the interactions regarding leader are also analyzed. Related issues such as leadership modeling, trait and behavior, personal factors and influence of followership, are critically discussed along with conclusions and practical suggestions.
