Followership

Abstract

Followers dominate all organizations, but a preoccupation with ­leaders ­hinders the consideration of the importance of followers and the ­relationship between followers and leaders. The topic of this book is how to become a better leader by becoming a better follower. The book includes chapters on the topics of: leadership theory, followership ­theory, preparation for the job, understanding what is required for the job, ­communication, initiative, positive attitude, responsibility, problem solving, and teamwork. This book provides suggestions for becoming an exemplary follower which will demonstrate and manifest the skills ­associated with leadership and bridge the gap between leadership training and followership.
