• “Followers shape culture every single day through the choices that they make.”
• “For leaders, the most powerful thing you can do is model followership in your own upward relationships.” 
• “What teaches people whether it’s safe to speak up is what happened to the last person that spoke up.”
•  “It’s powerful when the student sees the relational nature of the dynamic and identifies just how much followers shape leadership”
•  “Once students see that followers influence leaders, they can’t unsee it.”
