In our hyper-competitive world, few people of any generation are working hard to be known as a great “follower,” but the best leaders began their journey by developing strong followership skills.
International business icons like Malcolm Forbes, WalMart’s Sam Walton, Estee Lauder’s Leonard Lauder, Proctor & Gamble CEO A.G.
