In order for the structure to be initiated the leaders of the organization must be able to organize and then define the members of the group and what they should be doing to help maximize output. In order for the leaders to create consideration they must be able to create trust and respect that is mutual and this helps focus any concerns that the members may have.

In order to become a great leader, one must learn to follow. A good leader starts at the bottom as a simple follower and learns about how to lead each step they take to get to the top. “Beginning as a follower at the bottom is critical, because you, as leader, must never ask a follower to do something that you yourself are not willing to do—and one does not lead forever” (chrismaser.wordpress.com).
