Influential Leadership! How?

Do you think an influential leader with 371 influential leaders as his or her followers would be great or, a leader not influential with 100,000 mainly followers not leaders?  Who is greater, the former or later? 

Can you justify the total number of worldwide influential leaders and the total number of followers who are not influential leaders?

Influential marketing is a cheat and it should be eliminated or closed shop mainly because they count the total number of followers instead of the total number of influential leaders as your followers.
