Many of us are guilty of Leadership worship. Organizations spend billions of dollars every year trying to find leaders and develop them once they have found them. Yet, most agree that leaders affect and organization's results by only 10 to 20 percent. Followers, on the other hand, contribute 80 - 90 percent. By numbers alone, followers represent the heart and soul of an enterprise.
How much money did your organization spend last year on teaching people how to be good followers? How much on how to be good leaders? My guess is zero on followership and thousands on leadership. What are your thoughts about the merits of followership?
