Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:
What are the characteristics of an effective leader? What leadership behaviors lead to success? What is the very best leadership style? These are common questions that have been posed by countless scholars in an attempt to find the one singular leadership style of approach that is most effective. Though many books have been written about leadership, all have failed to include the traits of an effective follower until now. In this book, the author offers six habits or behaviors of highly effective followers: purpose, responsibility, communication, flexibility, integrity, and sensitivity.
Includes:
- A checklist at the end of each chapter to help readers assess whether they have mastered the information read.
- A 70-question survey in the appendix to assess if the reader shows evidence of the six habits of an effective follower.
This helpful guide will assist anyone in the field to develop qualities that are necessary to become a highly effective person in his/her personal and professional life.
