I was tempted to name this post "In praise of followers"* because this is exactly what I want to outline.
For too long companies made it appear that leadership was the ultimate goal for a successful career, ignoring to nurture followership skills.

Your life is gonna be easy...nanos gigantum humeris insidentes ("dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants")
