There are other ways to use it too, and in the long run help the entire party. 1) Rather than just soldiers you also have a large pool of craftsmen and spies, I've actually made a lot of money with leadership by making most of my followers experts and using them to produce huge loads of gear. 2) Spellcasters, especially wizards, can hugely benefit since they can share spellbooks with followers and if done correctly each follower can theoretically expand the lower level listings of spellcasters to a frightening degree. 3) If in eberron or if you DM lets the Artificer transfer settings then a group of those as followers can be excellent, more magic items, cheaper, and you can use them for money as well, overall a good setup for the team.
