They Are Making It Up
I have just seen the latest guidance on leadership for officers completing OJARs. Within this document, sponsored (So not necessarily something he/her wrote themselves) by ACOS manning, it includes the word followship. I checked, as a word it does not exist in the COD that I have on my desk. Interesting that those who have our careers within their grasp seem to be inventing new words as well as changing the meaning of old ones.
