PROCESS – THE RISE OF THE LEADER TO THE FINAL ROUTINIZATION6 STEPS :

1 Identification/ pengenalan Followers (passive admirers)– looking to

someone who’ll identify himself with their problems

E.g.: Mahatma Gandhi (1915-1920) –was back to India from a successful movement in South Africa

Self-identification (Mahatma Gandhi ) “ truth and love as supreme values”

PROCESS – THE RISE OF THE LEADER TO THE FINAL ROUTINIZATION

2 Activity arousal / rangsangan aktiviti Followers (acitve supporters) – become a part of

the change E.g. : Mahatma Gandhi (1921-1930)

Non-cooperation movement (1921) – awakened the whole country to rise against the British Rule.

Satyagraha :o "silent force" or a "soul force“/

 "adherence to truth"o non-violenceo  to secure the cooperation of the opponent

5 Depersonalization / depersonalisasi Is a logical follower of the earlier step of

disenchantment – depersonalization and formalization

Leadership style – more burearcratic leadership

Leader start- delegating his task to his follower

E.g. : Mahatma Gandhi (1938-1942) - he made it clear that Jawaharlal Nehru will be his political heir - withdrew from the active politics

PROCESS – THE RISE OF THE LEADER TO THE FINAL ROUTINIZATION

6 Alienation / Pemberian hakmilik This is the process of disintegration
