  11. Leaders are Followers, Too! • What leaders should follow: • Clear values and beliefs that are consistent with their own (Consciousness of Self) • A vision of the future that they share (Common Purpose) • Creative ideas that enable the organization to make change so that the values and vision can be realized (Controversy with Civility) • Other people whose strengths and talents contribute to the enactment of the values and vision (Collaboration)
