Description

You Are a Born Follower

We all have a primal instinct to follow—yet in a society that idolizes leadership, this instinct often goes unnoticed and, therefore, unchecked and untrained. Most of us follow without conscious thought in all aspects of our lives—personal, professional, and otherwise. We adhere to our instincts, social norms, hierarchies, and popular opinions simply because that is what we've been taught to do. But this blind, unreasoned following isn't just ineffective; it can be dangerous.

In Follow with Reason, Bob Galindo Jr. unveils the power of disciplining your followship skills and identifies five essential degrees that will transform passive following into intentional, reasoned following. From the instinctual degree—where we are born—through the curious and vulnerability degrees—where followship is a journey—Galindo offers real-life stories and exercises to help you discover a reasoned followship process. You'll learn not only why and how you follow, but how to harness elite followship skills to become more self-aware, protect yourself from manipulation, and even become a better leader!

Having a deficit of followship skills doesn't mean you do not follow. Everyone follows. It just means you may not follow well. Discover why mastering these five degrees of skilled followship is crucial. Take control of your influence, align your decisions with purpose, and follow—with reason.

Bob Galindo Jr

Bob Galindo Jr. is a third- and sometimes fourth-degree follower (always in progress) who has spent his life struggling to learn how to follow with reason—falling and getting up again and again, striving for that elusive fifth degree of vulnerability. With more than thirty years of experience in the investment advisory industry, he has been fortunate to achieve professional success in leadership positions, retiring in 2018 as the principal financial officer and treasurer of a prominent $80 billion mutual fund company. A United States Navy veteran, Bob earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Texas at San Antonio (Go Runners!). In addition to writing countless business, regulatory, and financial reports, Bob has authored op-eds and even recorded some music. He is a talented public speaker and has also appeared on stage as a professional musician, vocalist, and musical theater performer.
