According to Carsten and colleagues,proactive followers ______.

A) are high in the conscientiousness trait
B) place leader goals ahead of company mission
C) support the leader under all circumstances
D) put the organization's goals ahead of the leader's goals

According to Carsten and colleagues, proactive followers prioritize the organization's goals ahead of the leader's goals, thus putting the organization's goals ahead of the leader's goals. This implies that they place a strong value on the company mission and may exhibit a high-level trait of conscientiousness. Option A may be true but is not the best choice since it is not directly linked to proactive followership. Option B is completely incorrect as proactive followers do not prioritize leader goals over the company's mission. Option C is wrong because proactive followers are not blind supporters of the leader under any circumstances.
