This chapter examines the craft of storytelling for the purpose of developing followers and exploring leader‐follower transitions, while offering storytelling methods, classroom activities, and critical components of crafting a story. Through stories about the American Civil Rights icon, Mrs. Rosa Parks, and an unfamiliar Civil Rights activist, Sister Madeline Dorsey, a humble leader turned effective follower, it is possible to more easily appreciate the reflexive transition of follower to leader and leader to follower.
