Standing Up To and For Our Leaders.
This book balances the hundreds of management books on leadership, giving followers the insights and tools necessary to partner effectively with their leaders. It is a comprehensive guide for positively influencing the leader-follower relationship and shows courageous followers how to help the leader use power wisely to accomplish the organisation's purpose.
Management Consultant Ira Chaleff explores the forces at work in the leader-follower relationship and offers five methods to become an active employee - assume responsibility, serve well, challenge leaders, participate in transformation, and prepare to separate. Anyone who works closely with a leader of any kind, and any followers confronted with the challenges of supporting and, at times, correcting a leader, will find this handbook useful to refer to.
