Of the two groups, the success or failure of organizations, such as schools, are dependent on the leader and his or her leadership abilities. Effective leadership and followership in the educational setting is essential to improving and sustaining academic success. With the ever-increasing pressures in education from national, state, and district accountability standards, school organizations should also focus on fostering relationships between the leaders and followers. Leadership and followership roles are similar to the Chinese principles Yin and Yang, representing duality, yet harmonious relationships. Organizations should keep in mind that future leaders will come from the pool of individuals currently serving as followers; however, it is equally important to recognize leadership and followership as an undeniable symbiotic relationship between those who lead and those who choose to follow.  \nKeywords: Leadership, followership, relationships, capacity, yin-yang  \nThe success or failure of an organization, whether it is business or educational in nature, is dependent upon the actions of two groups of individuals, leaders and followers. Setting and maintaining the trajectory outlined of focus is guided by the leader as well as his or her leadership abilities. However, in education, exhibiting and executing successful leadership abilities is more important than ever with Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), flexibility and innovative requirements to ensure school accountability practices and equitable opportunities for all students. Accountability measures and high stakes testing require a capable leader in the piloting seats at both school and district levels. In addition to excellent leadership, schools must have great followers to carry out their missions and visions of success. Followers at their finest participate with independence, aptitude, and eagerness in the daily quest of their organizational goals. Currie (2014) emphasized that some of the finest follows will ensure their own personal and profession goals are aligned with those set forth by the organization and make it a priority to accomplish them.  \nIn many circumstances, the leader and follower relationship has been viewed as two separate entities. However, they are two resilient, yet connected, active roles that are required and exist on every organizational level. Leadership and followership have been described as the being two of the same coin (Rogers & Bligh, 2014; Wishon, 2015) . Researchers have referenced the roles of leadership and followership to a two-sided coin due to the symbiotic relationship each role possesses. If we were to physically examine a coin, one side would represent leadership, while the flip side would represent followership. Each side of the coin, when abilities are abundant, will produce outcomes that are advantageous to the organization. Leadership is exceptionally important to a school or organization performance, on the other hand, followership must have a role in the performance as well. Inquisitively, followership receives only a small portion of the spotlight that leadership does. The role of followers, in an organization, is significant at all levels. Followers may consist of stakeholders, executives, employees, or individuals who are in support of or trust the cause. It was the work of Kelley (1992) that prompted significant dialogue and research about followership. Kelley (1992) emphasized the need to pay attention to followers and that followership is worthy of its own distinct research. According to Kelley (1992), conversations about leadership should include followership because leaders neither exist nor act in a vacuum without followers.
