Main Idea: One of the most important contributions you can make to the mission of your organization, and one of the most overlooked aspects of healthy organizations, is knowing how to follow well.
While you will have opportunities to lead, you will always need to know how to follow.
One of the reasons we have dismissed “followership” is because we don’t understand that there are different types of followers.
Following well must be defined in terms of level of contribution, not blind disobedience.
Blind following is not good followership.
Closing Questions:
1. How good does a leader have to be for you to get on board?
2. How poor can a leader be and you’re still able to make a positive impact?
3. How quickly can you identify when you become a negative influence instead of making a positive impact?
