The document discusses leadership and followership. It defines a leader as someone who guides others and helps them work towards shared goals, while an effective follower is coachable, anticipates needs, offers solutions, and earns trust through dependability. The document argues that leadership requires effective followers and focuses on getting the right people engaged in pursuing a joint vision. It provides rules for effective followership and emphasizes monitoring key performance and condition data, like an automobile dashboard, to ensure the team is working well together towards their objectives.

Editor's Notes
- Strategists create, define and deliver principles of WHAT CAN BE. Leaders need to know where they are going and communicate that effectively to others. Work with OTHERS to test ideas and plan the journey (taking into consideration money, people, organizational capabilities). Executors ensure discipline (process) and the technical expertise to get the right things done right.Talent managers help people develop themselves for the good of the organization.Human Capital developers build the culture and capabilities to ensure the organization has the capabilites needed for the long term, not just the close-in objectives.Personal Proficiency. Effective leaders learn. They inspire loyalty because of their personal integrity. They are decisive and impassioned. Confident, courageous. Tolerate ambiguity.
