Kelley's Model Of Followership Style

Improved Essays
‘Analytic’ are known as independent thinker, they usually think critically, meanwhile ‘intuivist’ are on the other side of ‘analytic’ as they are very dependent, and are uncritical thinker (Sadler-Smith, 2010; Martin, 1998). According to Kelley’s model of followership style, it shows that ‘alienated’ and ‘exemplary’ followers are the independent and a critical thinker. ‘The sheep’ and the ‘yes-people’ followers are shown by the model as dependent, and uncritical thinker, meanwhile ‘pragmatist’ are in the middle, they are not totally independent and critical thinker, nor they are dependent and uncritical thinker (Kelley, 1992).

He held on the conception of two dimensions of critical thinking, stating that a critical thinker is “one who is appropriately moved by reasons” (p. 32). His description, then, includes two dimensions—a reason assessment component and a critical attitude component. The reason assessment component involves the critical thinker being able to understand and put into practice the principles governing the assessment of reasons, where the critical attitude component implies that the critical thinker embodies certain dispositions and habits of the mind. Siegel called it a “critical spirit” (p.…

    Independent thought is something cherished in this society. It allows us to have our own feelings, lives, and ways of getting through our problems. It also allows us to be unique because everyone has different independent thoughts. We are fortunate enough to have this, unlike many dystopian societies that seem to contradict our way of life. In the stories, The Lottery, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, and Harrison Bergeron we are shown that independent thought is not something everyone holds.…

    But some individuals stand up to authority figures, they are not intimidated by authority and will assert themselves rather than trying to please teachers, parents, bosses, judges and police officers etc. By turning their back on tradition, by casting off the trappings of social and cultural conventions, such individuals are libelled nonconformists; they are thus viewed and treated differently in society with possible varying results. Nonconformity should be admired and admonished, valued and reproved depending on the various situations it is applied to; nonconformity may have both positive and negative outcomes, ghastly consequences and excellent results. Generally, nonconformist attitude generates conflict between the individual and society.…

    The concepts of the three sociologists play a major role in understanding the idea and importance of this theory. Goffman’s notion of Dramaturgy and how individuals create actions that take place in both back and front stages plays an important role in how individuals act based upon the characteristics that they feel would be most important to those with whom they are interacting. Cooley’s focus on the looking glass-self describes how individuals interpret other’s reactions of them and develop a self-concept based upon how they feel other people view them. Mead’s perception of “I” and “Me” aspects of self-awareness that are created with the looking glass self, show how individuals act according to how they believe others would expect of them (Appelrouth & Edles 2008).…
