Sloped.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, except that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you’ve been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent. -Dave Berry Our muse & 🧜🏻‍♀️ Eva is bringing sexy back in our sexy Silver Siren Swimsuit while catching some amazing views 🐠🤿🐠 Have you been under the 🌊🌊🌊? Remembering my first trip to @johnpennekampstatepark definitely a little nerve wracking until I saw the statue of Jesus with his arms outstretched - a moment I’ll never forget.

Tightened.

I found myself revisiting the topic of followership after a conversation on ‘managing up’. I reflected, 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, & is in fact a form of leadership. My earliest leadership development experiences enforced followership, & I’ve never forgotten: Through a capstone event as part of the Army’s Officer Candidate School. During this event, we were rotated through leadership positions & assessed by cadre who were there to observe how well we demonstrated basic leadership skills. While those cadre assessments were key in our final evaluation, we were also assessed by our peers who submitted a peer review of everyone in the group. While this was one of my first memorable followership impressions, it certainly wasn’t my last. Throughout my professional life, in a series of successively challenging leadership roles, it was those who supported others that left the deepest positive impression with me. Research supports my lifetime of observations, & finds that those who demonstrate good followership often emerge as leaders. Written over 40 years ago, Dr. Robert Kelley’s, “In Praise of Followers,” still resonates today. He identified key qualities of followers that made them effective members of any team: 1. Self-management, 2. Commitment to the organization and a purpose greater than themselves, 3. Orientation for continuous personal improvement & focus in delivering results through their strengths, & 4. Courage & honesty: Others count on them to speak up even though others may disagree with them. Notice anything about those qualities? If you think they’re some of the same qualities that make a good leader, you’re on to Dr. Kelley’s point. Perhaps, the leadership lesson here is that we can all be better leaders by first focusing on being better followers.
