Before You Get All Misty Eyed!

I am not sure about other countries, as I have not spent much time there, but about American companies, I am sure. We spend billions of dollars annually on trying to find leaders, developing leaders and retaining leaders and almost nothing on identifying good followers, developing them or keeping them. The value of leadership in corporate America is a myth.
Only 15 -20 percent of corporate results can be attributed to leaders, the rest comes from followers. I propose that the best leaders come first from a group of superior followers.
Why should we not spend some of those billions on followership with the idea that we can "double dip" by greating better leaders and better followers.
