Certainly leaders influence actions that they are never aware of. I would even suggest a leader can influence a follower's thinking in a way impacts that person's actions down the road without either the leader or follower knowing it. I'm having a hard time coming up with an example that doesn't involve any action. Can you (John) or anyone else? Not sure. Certainly leaders influence actions that they are never aware of.

Too many are using social media networks to impose leadership on others who are merely having conversation. This is especially dangerous when organic faith conversations are taking place and ministry leaders feel the need to jump in and "lead" the conversation. Just posted about this the other day: "New Media: Consumer Leadership" Good thoughts, and thanks for saying this, as you are on online leader, but a Christ follower first, no doubt.

If someone creates a community site does that make them a leader? And if a bunch of people show up there regularly and discuss things does that make them followers? I'm going to suggest that neither leading nor following takes place until a follower puts into action something initiated by the leader. What do you think?

its the knowing why and where that matters.
why are you leading and where to?
why are you following and where to?

the modern web or online space simply exposes people to continue the same patterns of behavior with a new audience.

liked the notion of being known as a follower first. perhaps the question to 'leaders' should be 'who do you follow?'
