Description
"What are the characteristics of an effective leader? What leadership behaviors lead to success? What is the very best leadership style?" These questions have been posed by countless scholars in an attempt to find the most effective leadership style. Though many books have been written on this topic, all have failed to include the traits of an effective follower. 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 to help readers whether they exhibit the six qualities 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.

The strength of this volume is the co-mingling of the traits of leadership and followership.

Although effective leadership is a subject often discussed, Palestini looks at the other side of the coin and considers, instead, the characteristics of successful followers. He outlines six traits based on interviews with leaders: purpose, responsibility, communication, flexibility, integrity, and sensitivity.
