Fabulous book! An excellent guide on how to lead and be lead,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power of Followership, The (Hardcover)
I had the opportunity to take a class taught by Mr. Kelley at CMU and to have read all of his books. This book has a rather simple concept, that once read, becomes painfully obvious--no matter what our position in life we all follow someone. Even the President of the USA follows opinion polls.Kelley examines and analyzes the types of followers, their characteristics and identifies methods to motivate them based on their objectives and priorities. It also includes a test to identify your own followership traits. Very insightful. Should be part of every management training and employee development program.

Followers Make Things Happen for Leaders,
By
This review is from: Power of Followership, The (Hardcover)
As Kelley points out, most of what gets done in any organization gets done by the followers not the leaders. If you want to know how to become an "exemplary follower," or how to encourage those in your families and businesses to become "exemplary followers," this book provides an assessment tool that will allow you to understand your "followership style" as well as the styles of co-workers and family members. Among Kelley's insights is that a person must have a "courageous conscience" to be an exemplary follower. By that he means, the integrity to know right from wrong and the courage to speak up at appropriate times even at personal cost. Kelley makes clear that a strong personal support system and a strong financial foundation are both essential to permit an "exemplary follower" to have a "courageous conscience."

This book really puts the responsibility of power in perspective: how followers can effect good/bad leadership; how interchangable the roles can be...
