What Readers Are Saying
"This is an excellent book distinguishing leadership from followership. The author clearly develops what is termed the "legitimate environment," which includes the culture of the organization consisting of the mission, vision, and values. ... Overall, this book would be of great benefit to me and other executives as we ... try to increase the level of followership and provide constant monitoring to see if we are leading or [if we] are ... only a titled executive."
—Donald Buckley, PhD, FACHE, President Chesapeake General Hospital
"[T]his book arrived like a gift from heaven! What I found particularly useful was the practical approach to measuring followership and discovering the followership quotient."
—Barbara Knutzen, CEO, St. Joseph's Community Hospital
