    Followers have been the center of organizational focus in modern structure. The activation of followership could be a remark of successful leadership. Leaders must begin to understand the types of people they lead. Team members identify themselves as a unit and practically plan organizational development and progress to achieve similar strategies and objectives. The development of a leader-member exchange is based on characteristics of the `working relationship´ as opposed to a personal or friendship relationship. Leaders create unity through demonstration of group-mindedness by making more references to the collective history, the collective identity and interests, and collective efficacy. The more leaders augment follower identification (through role modeling or group socialization), the more followers will likely experience higher feelings of ownership and responsibility. This paper is intended to characterize the types of followers that might exist in organizations, and establish an integration of followers´ classification.
