Last year, I received a copy of Humble Influence: The Strength of True Followership from Jim Matuga—a seasoned entrepreneur, business leader, and community advocate with over 30 years of experience helping organizations and individuals thrive.
In the book, Matuga illustrates how true leadership is often shaped by strong, intentional followership–much like a school of fish instinctively moving together in harmony. The single white fish leading the red school on the book’s cover symbolizes how influence flows not from the authority but from trust unity and purposeful collaboration.
On Amazon, I offered this review, “When I read Jim Matuga’s Humble Influence, I thought he was describing my own journey of followership. He provides practical advice that mirrored my 30 years of experience as a follower and leader at NASA. As Matuga outlines, I had to show humility to serve, courage to challenge decisions respectfully, loyalty to the mission, and proactivity to take initiative. Fortunately, I followed leaders of excellence, who provided the mentorship and sponsorship to support my career growth. I encourage you to check out Humble Influence and can assure you that you’ll be inspired to become an even better follower—no matter your role in an organization.”
