In the Words of Ira Chaleff…

Allen – Reading an excerpt from your forthcoming book on followership I am impressed with the elevating language you use to imbue this form of relationship with service, grace and individuality. I look forward to more.

There have been a number of books that have helped me along in my journey of followership, much as I hope my book will in turn be helpful to others. Ira Chaleff is the author of The Courageous Follower, a book I reference frequently and build from as I present my own ideas in Embracing Followership. Ira recently honored me by sharing the above words.

In addition to the great encouragement I received from Mr Chaleff’s words, it’s amazing how succinctly he captures so many of the vital concepts of followership: relationship, service, and individuality…which are worthy of ‘elevating language.’

While you’re waiting for the release of Embracing Followership, you can read some excerpts from the book as well as check out a few other recommended resources on followership. You can also read the endorsements of others. And I’d welcome your comments & questions here and on the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/EmbracingFollowership) as well!
