Author, Jim Matuga

In Humble Influence: The Strength of True Followership, author Jim Matuga makes the case that following well is not a lesser role—but an essential one.

Why do we celebrate leaders so loudly, yet ignore the people whose followership makes that leadership even possible?”
— Jim Matuga
MORGANTOWN, WV, UNITED STATES, June 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a culture saturated with leadership books, podcasts and seminars, a new release is flipping the script: leadership isn’t the only path to influence. In Humble Influence: The Strength of True Followership, author and entrepreneur Jim Matuga makes the case that following well is not a lesser role—but an essential one.

Published by Spirit Media and set for release on June 15, Humble Influence redefines followership as a proactive, courageous and often overlooked force behind every successful leader, mission and movement. “Why do we celebrate leaders so loudly, yet ignore the people whose followership makes that leadership even possible?” Matuga said. “This book was born from that question.”

Matuga, founder of InnerAction Media and host of the Positively West Virginia podcast, draws on more than three decades of experience working alongside influential leaders and mission-driven teams. The book combines real-world stories, biblical insights and a practical roadmap for becoming an effective follower in any context—workplace, church,
home or community.

Key themes in Humble Influence include:
 Reframing followership as a strength—not a step down
 How to lead from the middle with initiative, humility and purpose
 Why organizations rise and fall not only on leadership, but on followership
 The example of Jesus Christ as both the ultimate leader and the ultimate follower
Humble Influence also includes a 9-step “Humble Influence Roadmap” designed to help readers cultivate trust, take initiative, communicate effectively and align their work with a larger mission.

A Timely Message for Today’s Workplace
In a marketplace dominated by leadership development, Humble Influence offers a counterbalance. “Not everyone wants to be the CEO,” Matuga said. “But everyone wants to matter. This book gives people permission to serve where they are—and to recognize the power of their influence even without a title.”

The message resonates with a growing cultural shift. As organizations become more collaborative and less hierarchical, followership is emerging as a critical skill set—one that drives team performance, supports healthy leadership and fosters long-term mission success.

Availability and Media Interviews
Humble Influence will be available in paperback and e-book formats via Amazon and other major retailers beginning June 15.

Finanse

K. Gawkowski: Polska w cyfrowej transformacji gospodarki awansowała do pierwszej ligi w Europie. 2,8 mld zł z KPO jeszcze ten proces przyspieszy

Uruchomiony na początku lipca przez Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji i BGK program „KPO: Pożyczka na cyfryzację” cieszy się dużym zainteresowaniem. Samorządy, uczelnie oraz firmy mogą wnioskować o wsparcie finansowe dla inwestycji w transformację cyfrową, m.in. modernizację infrastruktury czy cyberbezpieczeństwo. W sumie na ten cel trafi 2,8 mld zł (650 mln euro). Ze względu na krótki czas naboru obie instytucje organizują w poszczególnych województwach warsztaty dla wnioskodawców, które mają rozwiać ich wątpliwości przy przygotowywaniu wniosków.

Prawo

Koszty certyfikacji wyrobów medycznych sięgają milionów euro. Pacjenci mogą stracić dostęp do wyrobów ratujących życie

Od 2027 roku wszystkie firmy produkujące wyroby medyczne w Unii Europejskiej będą musiały posiadać certyfikat zgodności z rozporządzeniem MDR (Medical Devices Regulation). Nowe przepisy wprowadzają dużo ostrzejsze wymagania w zakresie dokumentacji, badań klinicznych oraz procedur certyfikacyjnych. Branża ostrzega, że część małych i średnich producentów nie zdąży się dostosować. Problemem jest także wysoki koszt i długi czas uzyskiwania certyfikatów. W konsekwencji z rynku mogą zniknąć urządzenia ratujące życie.

Infrastruktura

Nowe przepisy o ochronie ludności cywilnej wprowadzają obowiązkowe elastyczne zbiorniki na wodę. Mają one służyć w razie suszy, pożarów czy wybuchu wojny

Samorządy będą musiały posiadać m.in. elastyczne zbiorniki na wodę pitną i przenośne magazyny wody przeciwpożarowej. To element odpowiedniego przygotowania zasobów na wypadek sytuacji kryzysowych, kataklizmów czy wybuchu konfliktu, wprowadzony nowymi przepisami o ochronie ludności. Eksperci podkreślają, że tego typu rozwiązania to innowacyjne produkty, które nie tylko ułatwiają logistykę w sytuacjach kryzysowych, ale także mogą znacząco skrócić czas reakcji służb ratunkowych.
