This study recons the need for research on effective role of followership in mentoring a leader to set pattern or direction for leader. A reinvented concept of leader being a team man needs active participation from followers in changing business dynamics.

The results depict that certain personality traits backed by "Big Five Model" are found to be important for followers to have an impact on leaders' decision making. As this study analyzes the mutual characteristic of leader-follower relation statistically while putting follower on the forefront, the originality of the study is ensured. As for limitation, this study may show different results as per variant geographical and economical regions in which followers' expectations may vary accordingly.
