Vezetettek

Vezetettek is a Hungarian noun meaning “the led” or “those who have been guided or directed.” It is formed from the verb vezetni (to lead) and its past participle vezetett, with the plural suffix -ek to refer to a group. The term is used to distinguish people who follow or are governed from those who lead.

In everyday and scholarly use, vezetettek denotes individuals under the direction or influence of a leader, supervisor, or governing authority. The exact sense depends on context: it can describe employees under a manager, citizens under a government, or followers within a social or organizational hierarchy. In analyses of leadership and followership, it is often contrasted with vezetők (leaders) to illuminate interactions, dependencies, and responsibilities within a hierarchy.

Usage notes: while the form conveys a passive or subordinate status, it is not restricted to a single domain; it appears in historical narratives, sociological studies, and literary prose. Some texts may prefer wording like “a vezetettek” or “a vezetettek csoportja” to specify the group, and the relation to leaders can range from formal subordination to informal influence.
