Summary

This month we are presenting an in-depth look at the opposite side of leadership — i.e. followership. In this book Hamlin shares from his own experience how one can succeed as a follower by effectively serving in the second-rank. If the position is handled properly one can offer unique contributions to every group they are a part of, making a difference, and making an impact without being the top leader of an organization. One can use skills and perform with excellence as a follower.
