Leadership doesn’t begin when you’re in charge—it begins in how you follow. In this episode, C.T. Johnson challenges the common pursuit of leadership by exposing the often-ignored foundation that sustains it: followership. Discover how perspective, character, discipline, and stewardship are developed through serving another’s vision, and why premature leadership leads to instability. This teaching reframes leadership as a responsibility that must be prepared for, not pursued prematurely, revealing that the most effective leaders are those who first mastered servitude.
