Must be FalseDiff: Hard

Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: To lead, you must value your followers and have a vision; people will only follow you if they are sure their work is needed and will actually get the job done.

Reasoning: Leadership requires both making followers feel important and providing a clear goal; followership only occurs if people believe their efforts are both necessary and effective.

Analysis: For a 'Must be False' question, we are hunting for a scenario that contradicts the provided rules. The stimulus establishes that believing one's efforts are necessary and effective are 'necessary conditions' for following a leader. If we find a situation where someone follows a leader despite lacking one of those beliefs, we've found our contradiction. Look for an answer choice that describes a person following a leader even though they think their contribution is useless or redundant. It's like a group of people following a captain into a storm while secretly thinking their rowing won't make a bit of difference—the stimulus says that simply doesn't happen.
