Summary

Since its original release in 1995, The Courageous Follower has been quoted and put on reading lists everywhere from military leadership courses to church sermons to union meeting notices to corporate leadership programs. It has been recognized as the missing link in leadership development and in the sustainability of core values by senior management teams. For the first time since its widely acclaimed release, a newly revised edition is being rushed into print to speak to the widespread failures of leadership we have witnessed everywhere from the Catholic Church to the FBI to the largest corporations in the world. Boards of Directors, Senior Managers and staff who are loyal to the mission of their organizations, will all find the expanded edition more essential than ever to preventing and righting leadership wrongs and supporting and fostering values- based leadership efforts. In a culture obsessed with leadership, this contemporary classic redefines the power and responsibility of followership.
