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.

Chaleff's 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.
