Here, at last, is a book to balance the hundreds of management books on leadership.
The Courageous Follower is a handbook that gives us the insights and tools necessary to partner effectively with our leaders when we are confronted with the challenges of supporting and, at times, correcting them.
This book is a comprehensive guide for positively influencing the leader/follower relationship and assuring that power is used wisely to accomplish our agreed-upon purposes.
“If we are going to reinvent our government it will require that our agencies be filled with both courageous leaders and courageous followers. Paying more attention to the follower end of the equation is long overdue.”
Vice President Al Gore
“Countless books have been written to describe the qualities and responsibilities of the leader, but democracy cannot survive unless followers also behave responsibly. This book fills a large gap in any organization’s library.”
Barber Conable, Jr., former President, The World Bank
