Embracing Followership: A Discussion Guide for Teams & Small Groups
The Importance of Followership
We live in a leader-centric culture.
But what if leadership isn’t our goal? Can we use our skills to perform with excellence—as followers?
In Embracing Followership, Allen Hamlin Jr. showed that you don’t need to be a leader to make a difference. In this 16-part study guide to the book, you’ll discover what following well looks like in your own life—unpacking key themes from Embracing Followership and looking to role models in the Bible for guidance on how to thrive as a follower. Additional discussion questions will also spark conversation among leaders and followers walking through the guide in a group setting.
Embrace your role as a follower more fully with the Embracing Followership discussion guide!

Praise for Embracing Followership
Allen Hamlin writes on followership with an elevating language that imbues this form of relationship with service, grace, and individuality. A very welcome addition to the growing literature on followership.
—Ira Chaleff, author of The Courageous Follower
Embracing Followership may be among the top 10 most fresh, provocatively insightful expressions of what kind of thinking can ‘set the readers free’ from mindless cultural expectations on us that we've unconsciously imbibed. If you are one of the multitudes who can’t escape thinking you should be more of a leader, this book is for you. It marvelously clarifies the reality of how we are all both leaders and followers and are ‘blessed’ when we find ourselves ‘at home’ with that reality. I plan to distribute dozens of copies!
—Greg Livingstone, founder, Frontiers
Embracing Followership challenged and changed me—one of the rare books that can challenge your worldview and make you glad you read it. Allen manages to exalt followers without disparaging leaders, proving the unique value of each and providing practical steps to move us toward the mutually beneficial place of respect and value for the contributions of both.
—T. J. MacLeslie, minister, missionary, and author of Designed for Relationship
