What the Experts are Saying About Essentials of Followership: Rethinking the Leadership Paradigm with Purpose

“Finally, a textbook on followers! Consider this lively and informed volume a necessary corrective to a field still saddled with being relentlessly leader centric.”
Barbara Kellerman, Harvard Kennedy School

“I even gained insight into how my own work fits in the evolution of the field. Kudos to Rennaker and Linville.”
Ira Chaleff, Author - The Courageous Follower

“This is the first textbook devoted specifically to followership. With this book, the reader will gain a deeper understanding of the complexity of the leadership equation – leaders and followers together, working in a context. With features including discussion questions, illustrations, and applications, the novice student will gain a complete understanding of the leadership-followership paradigm, while more experienced scholars will appreciate the deep-dive into the multi-faceted world of followership.”
Ron Riggio, Kravis Leadership Institute

“This book is by far the most thorough, well-researched exposition on followership you will find. if you want one book on followership to have in your library, this is it.”
Marc Hurwitz, Chief Insight Officer, Flip.University

"Fantastic! A Must Read."
