This is the first work to focus not on why people with power and authority behave as they do, but on why people without respond as they do.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLeadership is a relationship. There is no leader without at least one follower. Still, notwithstanding their essential importance - especially to leaders - followers are largely ignored. This book is a corrective: followers are placed in the foreground, and leaders in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst, Barbara Kellerman focuses on the rewards and punishments that prompt us to go along with the leader and conform to the group. Next, she highlights what motivates some individuals some of the time to do the opposite. Finally, she demonstrates that the human condition is submission: obedience is typical, while resistance is atypical. Drawing upon the latest research in business, government, psychology, philosophy, religion, education, and the sciences, Kellerman's accessible inquiry will be of interest to readers across disciplines and practices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis latest publication by globally renowned expert Barbara Kellerman is a vital and fresh contribution to the leadership field.
