The North Star is recognized as the perennial navigation beacon and compass to follow, providing direction and guidance for those lost without it. Great leaders, similarly, provide focus and influence to guide others to achieve goals they would not reach on their own.

In fact, it an organization has certain followers who are the servant followers, it would influence the entire atmosphere in the organization. Other followers will follower them as a role model, and further willing to follow the leader.…
