May I recommend that you actually open your CILIP Update this month? There is a teasing "Clipboard" by Edward Dudley on "Followership" on page 14. He gives the outline of a course on "Followers and Leaders". Among the benefits: "Those attending will be expected to draw on their experience and achievements in protecting users from the consequences of too much leadership".
Need I say more?

"Genuine knowledge is egalitarian
in that it allows no privileged source,
testers, messengers of Truth.
It tolerates no privileged or circumscribed data.
The autonomy of knowledge is a leveller."
- Ernest Gellner, "Plough, Sword and Book".
