The Art of Followership (What Happened to the Indians?). Fastback Series, No. 33.
Fallon, Berlie J.
The leader who survives the challenges of the new leader-follower relationship will be disciple to a humanism that recognizes several key concepts. These concepts argue that human will, reason, and purpose stand above formulae and material considerations in the school situation; that human capabilities must be more fully utilized; that greater attention must be given to individualizing the lifestyles of all who are part of the educational enterprise; and that the new humanism will seek out nontruth as readily as it seeks out Truth. Additionally, the leader who survives will recognize that complete consensus is a goal but seldom a reality, and he will acknowledge that a leadership style vested in humanism will discard the illusion of the indispensable man. The leader who survives will make better use of that precious commodity, time--time to free up from confining detail and day-to-day mechanics; time to formulate and test new hypotheses; time to get to know and empathize with personnel at all levels; and time to build up and replenish his own mental, physical, and spiritual reserves.
