Eric McDermott shares a framework he developed through his decades of professional experience called the 4 Tiers of Followership (or the 4 Tiers of Help).
By day, Eric is an equity partner at a financial services firm with more than 60,000 clients. But behind the suit, in his other company, Eric was named "Best Business Influencer of the Year" winning two Stevies (the Oscars of the business world) for his social media channels. Having amassed more than half-a-million social media followers in just two years, he educates in a unique brand of visual storytelling that vibes like someone rebooted Schoolhouse Rock for the next generation. He is also a USA Today and Amazon best-selling author, and has numerous published Forbes articles, one of them on followership (see below).
- “Everything comes down to help, and we all need it.”
- “There are two fundamental roles of help: leading and following.”
- “I view leadership simply as an offer of help to produce a better future together than we could alone. Followers are people who say I want that future too and I like your interpretation of how we get there.”
- “If we recognize that what we’re trying to do is increase the capacity of others and ourselves, then it creates a really great positive sum.”
