From the award-winning author of The Third Law comes a discerning look into why leaders struggle to inspire followers-and how to fix it.
The days of command and control style leadership are over. Leaders are sitting in the gap between what is expected from them today and what was modeled for them in the past, which leaves them feeling frustrated, confused, and hopeless. Why can't I get my employees on board with the company's collective goals? Why are my employees unmotivated? Why does no one work as hard as they used to?
The hard truth is the problem doesn't lie with your team-it lies with you.
In Followship: 16 Lessons to Become a Leader Worth Following, author Tamra Ryan breaks the lessons into four categories-vision, integrity, courage, and emotional intelligence-to teach leaders how to inspire their audience to work together in the pursuit of collective goals, be their best selves, and go beyond the limit to achieve objectives that they never believed themselves capable of.
OVER 16 LESSONS, FOLLOWSHIP WILL TEACH YOU:
- The difference between managing and leading
- How to show up in ways that get your team excited, inspired, and motivated
- How to communicate and get buy-in on your vision
- Why your words matter
- Why showing vulnerability and humility is courageous
- The importance of creating a place of belonging
Pulling from decades of her own experience and examples from memorable leaders throughout history and today, Tamra teaches readers that in order to truly excel at leadership, you must first excel at followship.
