In New Testament usage, "disciple" (Greek mathetes) means "a learner, pupil." The purpose of discipleship is not just to "follow the leader;" the purpose is to learn from the leader in order to emulate, or become like, the leader.

Luke 6:40 - A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. [NKJV]
