Lead & Follow
Smart Followership for Talent Development - David Elser
David Elser, author of Doing the Chores, shares his concept of smart followership through personal stories of growing up on a small family farm in northwest Ohio. David is a learning and development professional based in Coldwater Lake, Michigan who has over 30 years of experience in the transportation industry. He works with employees at all levels, from essential front-line workers to executive leaders. David has a master's degree in organizational management and is a Certified Professional Coach.
“[Smart followership] is having the willingness and ability to enthusiastically and effectively provide support.”
“What if we brought into the organization smart followership skills training, what would that mean?”
"Sometimes its best to step back and let others come up with the solution."
