The readiness level categorized as 'unable and unwilling' represents which type of follower?

The readiness level categorized as 'unable and unwilling' corresponds to the dependent follower type. This classification refers to individuals who lack the skills or motivation needed to perform tasks or take initiative. Typically, dependent followers rely heavily on others for direction and support, showing little desire to engage or take responsibility due to their lack of confidence or capability.

The context of 'unable and unwilling' captures their mindset perfectly: they are not only unable to perform effectively due to a lack of skills but also display a reluctance to engage with the tasks at hand, often waiting for others to make decisions for them. This type of follower often requires significant guidance and encouragement to become more self-sufficient and proactive in their roles.

The other follower types, while they may exhibit different levels of engagement and capability, do not fit the specific combination of being both unable and unwilling as clearly as dependent followers do.
