Rezensionen

"Andy and Patty share indispensable insight to leaders of innovative change in their chapter, Effective Followship for Creativity and Innovation." ( ThinkAboutItHarder.com , 05/05/08)
The Art of Followership turn leadership book on their heads. As the authors argue, followership is more important now that it has ever been. ( Consulting Magazine , 05/05/08)

The Art of Followership is actually quite different in presentation.... Some chapters are quite short; others describe individual programs as a springboard for talking about the phenomenon. But most are scholarly think-pieces that are quite conceptual. ( Financial Executive , 05/01/2008)

"With contributions from leading scholars and practitioners, this book highlights the different model, perspectives, and meaning of followership." ( T + D Magazine , 04/28)

"My long-time collaborator James MacGregor Burns, who wrote the forward in this book, deemed it is a landmark book in the complexities of the leader-follower dynamic. I agree." ( TLC Newsletter , 04/2008)
