One of the primary roles of a leader is to motivate others to follow him/her. Some argue that leaders are charged with upholding the mission of an organization and do not have followers.

-Do you think leaders need to have followers in order for them to lead?

-Which leader will be more successful in the new era of management—an authoritarian leader or a Laissez-fair leader? Please provide adequate justification.
