		Since no discussion of what exemplary followership is takes place in most organizations, and since there has been considerable emphasis on leadership competencies, clearly followership skills now need and will need in the future the specific attention and focus of the human resource and staff development professionals.
		Additionally, in developing followership skills or in training staff to assume effective followership roles, it will be important to demonstrate and recognize effective followership skills, acknowledge and understand the different types of followers within an organization, and determine how best to build reward systems for followership.
		Recognition of the contributions of people taking followership roles is an important signal to others in the organization that this is a valued role and one that, when chosen and acted on effectively, will be noted and honored.

	Guest Commentaries: Issues That Make Me Think Hmmn! 1: Bad Followership-
		The architects of this bad governance have always risen from our gallery of followership into their circle of 'bad leadership'; and our inability to sanitise the country from the followership gallery is what is sinking the Nation's boat today.
