the.com/followership

means The capacity or willingness to support, trust, and follow a leader effectively — being good at being led, not just being led.

from A straightforward modern compound: 'follower' plus the abstract-noun suffix '-ship' (the same ending that turns 'leader' into 'leadership'). It surfaces in management and organizational writing in the later 20th century, coined almost defensively — leadership theory had centuries of attention, and someone finally asked what the other half of that relationship should be called.
