The OTHER F Word!: Recent Episodes

bob vásquez!

This podcast is based on my book titled, The OTHER F Word, the Key to Leading Effectively. Yeah, another leadership podcast, but from a different point of view. I’ve been writing and teaching about leading and following for several decades now and I’m convinced that we need more followers, Effective Followers, than we need leaders. That’s what I’ll share thoughts with you about. BTW, the OTHER F word is Followership, not the one you were thinking of.
