"In any leadership situation there is a relationship between the leader and the goal. Without a goal, a point toward which people are being directed it is hard to say that leadership is taking place. The leaders ability to articulate the goal is VISION, but the relationship between the followers and the goal is MOVEMENT. IN other words the followers have actually to move towards the goal ENVISIONED by the leader.
There must be some kind of strategy and tactics to enable this movement to take place-OTHERWISE..it will disintegrate into chaos. Finally a healthy LEADER-FOLLOWER DYNAMIC is characterized by the experience of TRUST between them. This is the glue that bonds them together. This is the means by which the followers enters into the leaders own sense of CONFIDENCE,VISION AND PURPOSE.
The followers appropriate the life the leader is living, and in this way the leader becomes the vehicle for the followers to move into the unknown. This is an appropriate exercise of power.
If TRUST brokers down the CONNECTION is broken. Then either the followers no longer follow or the leader finds other means to ensure that they Do-though COERCION,MANIPULATION or the like.and so begins to exercise POWER INAPPROPRIATELY
