A Leader Among Followers…

Creating Dynamic Followers as Prerequisite for Leading

By Laura Rose

"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it."

Dwight D. Esienhower

Introduction

We hear that for an effective organization to smoothly evolve and develop there should only be one Indian chief and many Indians; one leader and many followers. And we continuously applaud, train and promote leadership positions.

The reality is that the majority of most organizations are followers.

Creating Inappropriate Heroes.

Abstract:

We’ve all caught ourselves thinking and feeling things like: “If I want it done right, I need to do it myself.” “There’s no one else to do it”. “It always falls on me.” “Why am I always the one that has to move/change/compromise/keep the peace, etc.

While I agree that we create and attract our experiences, I’m not entirely convinced it’s beneficial to us to examine, review and replay the circumstances of a “crummy experience”.
