Four factors. One honest read.
Every factor is a spectrum, not a label. Nobody is a follower — they act at a point on the line, and the point moves with the situation.
Leadership — Follower
Who moves first when direction is absent.
Early Adopter — Resistant
How fast new methods get absorbed.
Innovator — Awaits Instruction
Whether a better way is invented or requested.
Collaborator — Forced Contributor
Whether working with others is chosen or endured.
