The leader should be the servant of all and everything. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but in my opinion it corroborates what good advice this is. However, I wouldn't go as far as to dress in a towel and wash your employees feet ;) I think it’s interesting to see the parallels between this philosophy and that of Jesus.

Nice to be back. Thanks for another book suggestion which I'll add to my to-read-list. I just saw what you've written about this blog, and I'm happy and honored. Mary: Thanks for your comment on the ducks :o) And I also think that we're not appreciating the value of followers enough. Adam: Great thought. I think if we let some business leaders play follow the leader, everyone would try to lead. I think that good leadership is dynamic, ie. it shifts according to a myriad factors instead of always resting with one person. Hi Mike. Nice to be back.

And: if no one is following the leader, how should we get all the 'boring' stuff done (: A nice & positive to you! ‘Follow the Leader’ is a funny game to play, it shows something ‘crucial’ about the kids (and ‘grown-ups’) of today: Who has the skills to follow and who has the skills to set a reachable set of movements in the game.

The photo of the ducks alone made my day. As you note, we can't all lead, all the time. And, I think we in the U.S. have gotten a tad (okay, a lot) carried away with the idea that everyone should/can be a leader. Some folks make much better followers and are indeed extremely uncomfortable if placed in a leadership class, let alone a role. And, if we're pushing and shoving to be in front - we're not going to be getting much done. Hey, I’m following Michael (must resist, must resist). The photo of the ducks alone made my day.

Have you read, dare I ask, The Power of Followership by Robert Kelley? I found it very helpful. There is a fun little assessment in the book about identifying your followershp style. I often use it in workshops to get some conversation around attitudes at work. Did you see your picture over at Own Your Brand? Great to have you back from the slopes Alex!
