The Courageous Follower: Standing Up to and for Our Leaders Ira Chaleff
 Description and Reviews From The Publisher: The Courageous Follower provides a model of followership that strips away the passive connotations of the role. For anyone who works closely with a leader of any kind, this is a comprehensive guide for positively influencing that relationship and helping the leader use power wisely to accomplish the organization's purpose. All of us are, at times, followers-even a president reporting to the CEO or a general reporting to the Commander-in-Chief. And in any organization, there are always more followers than leaders. The Courageous Follower is a contemporary classic that redefines the power and responsibility of “followership,” the role of many who must support, confront, engage, foster, and leverage the talents and wisdom of their leaders. This updated, expanded edition directly addresses issues that are hot news topics today, especially those that focus on the failure in corporate ethics and responsibility in such high-profile cases as Enron and WorldCom and faulty leadership in the Catholic Church and the FBI. This new edition has been updated with new introductory material, a new chapter on how leaders can create a culture of courageous followers, and numerous revisions throughout. It provides new insights and strategies that help followers get their leaders to listen, and examines the continuum of courageous followership-from small actions and risks that improve team performance to transformative, career-risking acts that save organizations and their leaders. Since its original publication in 1995, The Courageous Follower has been quoted and put on reading lists everywhere from military leadership courses to church sermons to union meeting notices to corporate leadership programs. It has been recognized as the missing link in leadership development and in the sustainability of core values by senior management teams. Reviews “The Courageous Follower contains remarkable insight and a lot of practical advice that will be of enormous benefit to followers, and maybe even more benefit to leaders.” —General Walter Ulmer, Jr., President and CEO, Center for Creative Leadership
