How’s my following?

No… I’m not talking about people who follow me.  I’m thinking of how I’m doing as a follower. 

Most of what I read focuses on how to be a great leader. 

How to lead people.  How to lead up.  How to lead in an organization filled with leaders. 

But people rarely speak of following. 

So, how’s my following?  How well do I follow?  How am I doing aligning myself with the leadership God has placed me under?  Do I criticize my leadership?  Do I try to work around my leadership?  Do I step outside of my leadership? 

I lead others through my ability to follow.  By criticizing my leadership, I lead others to mistrust.  By working around leadership, I lead others to manipulate ‘the system’.  That’s not the kind of influence I want to have. 

I want to lead others to follow well.  The best way to lead them to follow is to be a great follower.
