Great topic! I think the biggest obstacle (ObstaclẾs!) to following is an out of control ego. Who, sure in his leadership skills, cannot pause to learn from someone else or accept the competency of others within his organization? Like Canadian geese, flying in formation, one “leader” after another takes charge and then, relinquishes the lead so that another leader may develop. What kind of chaos would result if the entire flock rushed for the front spot in an attempt to put self first? Knowing when to lead/teach and when to follow/learn is a skill that I’m still perfecting...and toward which I am making progress.
