ABSTRACT

Henry Ford's third step of "Working Together," or people following people, has always been the natural outcome of people pursuing common purpose through quality sharing. In medicine, changes to its persistence markers, how people persistently responded to one another's needs, began to influence both the reason to grow and accountability tools. Followership social capital sites can serve as the engine that builds that reason-to-grow. Universities are also negatively affected by a lack of Followership social capital. Without Followership, education will lag behind the accelerating needs of people in the decision economy. Financial-capital markets are struggling with the usefulness of decision-making material used by investors. A Followership social capital site can help investors and managers stay up to date on the rapid changes in social-capital formation. Unlike the Securities and Exchange Commission's mission with respect to financial capital, there is very little anyone can do to protect investors in social capital.
