Abstract

In the previous chapters, I discussed the efferent processes (strategic followership that is not associated with neural processes of followers but rather the social and behavioral processes) of strategic followership. In this chapter, I extend that discussion to the afferent processes (strategic followership that is centered on the neural activations of followers). These processes explain the bridge mechanism by which followers behave strategically: tempered imitation. Strategic followers have a keen sense of situational awareness. Consequently, they observe their surroundings and imitate what is good based on neuronal activations.1 The imitation is tempered in the sense that not everything followers observe is imitated; only that what is congruent with the self in terms of morals, motivations, goals, expectations, values, beliefs, and normative standards is imitated.
