Book excerpt: We live in a society where leadership is applauded and celebrated, while following is seldom discussed but often demanded by those who are usually self-appointed to lead. Everybody wants to lead, but very few have ever mastered the art of following. Where would we be in the body of Christ if the twelve disciples never made the decision to be followers of Jesus? I argue that we would have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Jesus called the disciples to be His followers, not His leaders. The disciples walked out a three-year journey to learn how to become followers, not leaders. They were then launched into the role of leadership as a result of their ability to grow through the process of following.

Download or read book Followship written by Jerry Gillis and published by . This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following helps us. As upside down as it sounds, it frees us. It takes us out of the bondage of our own selfishness and vanity and places us in an arena that is outside of ourselves. It is full of adventure and wonder and discovery because we are not at the controls and don't know what each new turn will bring. We really live when we follow, and it is a noble life. Followers live for the prestige, recognition, and glory of Another. Life is no longer centered on self. And the less focused that we are on self, the more we seem to help ourselves at the core of our being. God does a remarkable thing by placing us in unique human relationships. Those relationships become the grid of how well we play out the reality or lack of it as it relates to followship. The relationship that God has ordained for some has placed them in a positions where they must be a good leader simply because of the many people for which they are. However they must be good followers because all of those people must have an example of what a good follower looks like. Followship will give you a fresh perspective in your Christian walk.

Book excerpt: This Harvard Business Review digital collection showcases the ideas of Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones, authors of Why Should Anyone Be Led by You? and Why Should Anyone Work Here?

In Why Should Anyone Work Here?, the authors argue that it used to be that businesses could ask individuals to conform to the organization’s needs but that now today’s leaders are charged with creating the best company on earth to work for: they must transform their organizations to attract the right people, keep them, and inspire them to do their best work.
