Create words that substitute for the term follower that would have an empowering connotation to others. How do you, or would you, react to being called a follower?

    Most people react to the word follower as someone who just stays in the shadows and doesn't like to be their own person. For example wearing the same fashions as others or doing things only because a person is. If you substitute the word follower for active participant or collaborator most people feel completely different about the term. Participantts and collaborators join together to create a new idea and help lead others. Participants are active, engaged and intentional. Participants are involved in the leadership process by sharing ideas with other group members. If this is what the term "follower" meant than I would react happy to being called a follower because I am involved in the leadership process and I am doing things for the group and the benefit of others.
