Knowingly or unknowingly, we all had someone at some point in our life, we have always looked up to. When we were young, it used to be our parents or favorite teachers.
Growing up, the habit never really changed. But the kind of people we looked up to did.
(Oh I like the quality of this person. She is really great at managing a team and the list goes on.)
Saying that, this implies to our career as well. We unconsciously try to follow the road most taken and learn from people who have successfully done it before.
A lot of people feel inspired seeing them and that gives them a direction to start with especially when they are in the initial stages of their journey.
