I am going to conduct a 5-forces analysis of the industry "Fresh Connections" is involved in, that is to say the fresh food industry. These forces help us to analyse everything from the intensity of competition to the profitability and attractiveness of the industry. We are going to use this model to better understand the industry in which "Fresh Connections" operates.

That’s where the fame and fortune are—with the leaders. “You can get a PhD in organizational leadership, but you can’t even get a bachelor’s in followership.” (Mercer) Why should an organization focus on followership as much as leadership?

I never wanted to be the line leader in Kindergarten. I was happy with following everyone else. All throughout growing up I would do whatever my friends did.

As look to the future, I become excited about the possibilities that lay ahead. I was captured by Collins with these words, “We cannot predict the future. But we can create it” (p.1). Great by Choice, then became something of an obsession. I began to dissect and examine myself and my gifts and talents to determine where my strengths lay, and weaknesses could be improved.

Now, each one of these characteristics has their pros and cons, which means that it is alright to be a follower but up to a certain point. On the other
