Tyrants can only rise with our help. And they aren’t limited to heads of state. Family heads, corporate CEOs, a town mayor: any leadership role can have tyrannical qualities. As followers, we make them possible.
And we can push them to a better path.
ILA member Ira Chaleff, studies followership in-depth. He’s identified five categories of followers who play a role in a tyrant’s rise…and how they can change that course.
Here’s what Ira and Maureen cover:
- Where you may stand in the follower categories;
- The big differences between dictators and tyrants; and
- What you can do to improve outcomes by understanding the concepts of courageous followership.
Ira Chaleff is the author of The Courageous Follower: Standing Up to and for Our Leaders; Intelligent Disobedience: Doing Right When What You’re Told to Do Is Wrong; and To Stop a Tyrant: The Power of Political Followers to Make or Brake a Toxic Leader.
