What Makes a ‘Leader’ Different From a ‘Follower’?

A leader is like a captain of a ship, they know where to go and encourage others to follow. A follower is someone who trusts the leader’s direction but may not think about where the ship is going. Leaders inspire people, while followers support them. Sometimes, followers can become leaders if they start thinking for themselves.
