Opinion Leaders

 

These leaders are usually very concerned with maintaining the respect of others and tend to be discreet regarding which innovations they pursue. They invest time and energy studying innovators and sifting through ideas.    

 

"Fall-in-line Followers"

 

These followers want to know what the opinion leaders are thinking.  If the opinion leaders buy into a proposed change, so do they.  

 

"Hesitant Hanks"

 

These followers are often skeptical.  For them, security is knowing that they are in the majority.  Once a proposed change has reached 50 percent adoption, they will quickly follow-but don't expect them to buy in before then.

These followers make decisions based upon how things were done in the past.
