Stars, Constellations, and the Quiet Majority

The hero gets the documentary. The team does the actual work. For a century we've told the same leadership story: one visionary, one will, everyone else as set dressing. In Episode 4, I read two articles - "Rethinking Leadership: From Stars to Constellations" and "Followership: Leadership's Apology Tour" - that take the lone star down out of the sky and go find everyone who was standing in its shadow. Because leadership isn't a person. It's a pattern a whole team performs, including the quiet majority no org chart would ever point you to.
