James McGregor Burns, in a seminal work on transformational leadership, states: Leaders and followers are engaged in a common enterprise; they are dependent upon each other, their fortunes rise and fall together (1978, p. 426). Think about this quote in relation to the Northouse Leadership Theory and Practice 7th edition (chapters 7, 8, 9, 10)presented this week on relational perspectives of leadership, do you agree or disagree that effective leadership requires a reciprocal relationship between leader and follower? Why or why not? Use the readings to support your argument.
