Description
Followership is often overlooked in leadership training programs. In addition, it is given as a footnote in leadership texts and courses. This presents a problem from both a practical and research standpoint in that leaders are often uninformed about how to effectively manage those whom they depend on to do the work of the organization: the followers. Just as there are a variety of leadership types, there are a variety of followership types. Without an understanding of the dynamics of followership, it may be challenging to lead effectively.
Based on the work of Kelley, Chaleff, Kellerman, Riggio, Northouse, and others (1992), this presentation will provide both the practitioner and researcher with opportunities for reflection on their own preferred leadership and followership styles, as well as how these roles provide a dynamic that can afford organizations, communities, and relationships the transformative potential for healthy and sustainable growth.
