Tools for Leading, Managing, and Following
1. Pay attention to the context: Are you leading, managing, or following in this situation? 2. Recognize that each situation requires a specific skill set. Each is described in the chapter. 3. Notice others whose leadership style you admire and try to incorporate their behaviors in your own
leadership if the situation is appropriate. 4. Evaluate yourself at regular opportunities in order to find ways to improve your abilities to lead,
manage, and follow.
Questions to Challenge You 1. Think about people you know in management positions. Are any of them leaders as well?
Describe the characteristics that make them leaders. 2. Consider people you know who are not in management positions but are leaders nonetheless.
What characteristics do they have that make them leaders?

4. Imagine yourself as a manager whether you are in a management position or not. What skills do you possess that help you? What skills would you like to improve?
5. Evaluate yourself as a follower. Find at least one characteristic listed in the chapter that you would like to develop or improve. During the next week, try to find opportunities to practice that skill.
