Followership…..

……. like leadership, is a role and not a destination.”

— Michael McKinney

 

Let him who …..

….. would be moved to convince others, be first moved to convince himself.

– Thomas Carlyle

Be known for…..

….. pleasing others, especially if you govern them…Ruling others has one advantage: you can do more good than anyone else.

– Baltasar Gracian

“We all carry…..

……. a responsibility to do what we can when it will make a difference.”

— Michael Useem, Leading Up

“Followership is a discipline….

…. of supporting leaders and helping them to lead well. It is not submission, but the wise and good care of leaders, done out of a sense of gratitude for their willingness to take on the responsibilities of leadership, and a sense of hope and faith in their abilities and potential.”

— Reverend Paul Beedle

“A vision we give…..

….. to others of who and what they could become has power when it echoes what the spirit has already spoken into their souls.”

– Larry Crabb

“The difference between ….

….. followers and leaders is that followers need leaders to help them follow what leaders themselves are following. This relationship takes the form of a shared response-ability to a shared calling. Both find each other in a true fellowship to create the world responsibly.”

— James Maroosis

“Co-leadership should…..

…….. permeate every organisation at every level.”

— David Heenan and Warren Bennis

The world is moved…..

……. not only by the mighty shoves of heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.”

— Helen Keller

People advising others …..

… often forget that the same advice applies to their life as well
