First reactions to A Celebration of Followership

Let me share with you the first reactions to my latest book A Celebration of Followership.

Book review at Lulu bookstore by Bruce Pascoe, experienced instructor with a demonstrated history of working in the professional training & coaching industry.

This book is very important as a history of the study of followership and as a fascinating record of Ira’s own significant followership journey. However, to me, it is even more important as an invaluable resource for those who want to make their own exploration into the field of followership. It is one of the best research sources I have ever come across. It is especially an outstanding resource for anyone who is interested in writing a thesis on followership or in doing some other serious research into the field, but is unsure of just what facet of followership they want to explore. One way to use the book is to browse through areas of particular interest to you and read the different types of documents. I will be surprised if you do not come up with a new and rewarding way to look at followership by doing this. This is what I have done, and have personally been excited to find a couple of new areas I am already exploring.
