In his book "Beyond the Leadership Myth", now out on Amazon, author Christian Monö examines some of the most fundamental questions about leadership and followership. What is a leader? Why do people follow leaders? Is it in our genes to do so or is it a constructed phenomenon? Perhaps most challenging of all - could followers at times be more important than their leaders?

By approaching these issues from a follower perspective, Christian Monö explores the true nature of both effective followership and effective leadership. He also discusses how one best follows a leader and leads a follower in order to achieve goals most effectively.

This is an important, thought provoking book for anyone who is interested in how leaders and followers build success.
