As Founder of J. Allen Leadership Solutions, Mark J Cappone writes "I found myself revisiting the topic of followership after sharing some thoughts on managing up in a recent article. I again reflected that leadership development these days focuses on the role of the leader. However, my own leadership experiences remind me that being a good follower is just as important as being a good leader and is in fact a form of leadership."
