  • Leaders and Followers: The Forgotten Part of the Equation

    Leaders and Followers: The Forgotten Part of the Equation0

    Punch in “leadership books” on Amazon, and dozens of volumes pop up.   Punch in “follower books,” and you get titles about social media and Christian discipleship.   This same disparity holds true for my public library.
