Mission Magnets: The Highest Form of Followership
In the 7 Types of Followership framework, we call this rarest of followers the Mission Magnet. They are not swayed by personal gain or recognition. They don't follow out of fear or obligation. Instead, they are drawn—magnetically—toward something far greater than themselves. Whether it's a compelling leader, a righteous cause, or a divine call, Mission Magnets live and die with one purpose: to serve the mission, whatever the cost.
To Our Heroes

As a global citizen speaking with those who need our help, I know how thankful people are when we are there to protect them. And I know how proud my parents were of me that I decided to earn my stripes.
