17 In a recent article Rost has made a change in his use of the word “followers.”

I now use the word followers when I write about leadership in the industrial paradigm. I use the word collaborators when I write about leadership in the postindustrial paradigm. This is a change from—Leadership in The Twenty-First Century—in which I use the word followers all the time. The reason for the change is the unanimous feedback I received from numerous professionals throughout the nation… After trying several alternative words, I settled on the word collaborators because it seemed to have the right denotative and connotative meanings. In other words, collaborators as a concept fits the language and values of the postindustrial paradigm and so its usage should not be a problem to those who want to articulate a new paradigm of leadership.
