So What? You must recognize and differentiate between your obligations as a follower and a leader. You must develop the skills necessary to be successful in these paradoxically simultaneous roles. Knowing how to serve others up, down, and sideways will earn you a reputation as a powerful asset to any team.
Now What?

• I will reach out to _______________________________ in order to seek more insight, guidance, and advice.
• I will ask ________________________________ to hold me accountable for _____________________________.
• And I will __________________________________________________ in order to create an experience to develop competencies that I have not yet adequately developed by (date) _____________________________.
