Leadership and Followership Dynamics
In a dynamic professional environment, no one is solely a leader or a follower. Everyone within a team constantly shifts between the two, depending on the context and demands of the moment. Yet leadership is often seen as the more desirable status, while followership is underestimated. This narrow view creates unnecessary pressure to lead—even when it’s more efficient to support. Followership isn't about submission—it’s about conscious, strategic engagement that enables teams to function with coherence and efficiency.
This course explores how any professional can amplify their impact, whether leading or supporting. High-performing teams are built on individuals who know how to adapt their roles without diminishing their authority or value. We examine followership types and how they influence organizational success, starting with Robert Kelley's framework that positions the active follower as a strategic partner—not a passive executor.
Throughout the program, participants will develop both leadership and followership capabilities, learning to switch roles with confidence and purpose. You'll increase your performance, expand your adaptability, and gain the skills to thrive in any team environment. Leadership and followership are not opposing forces—they're two sides of the same organizational coin, and professional success depends on understanding and using both.
Power lies in knowing when to step forward or support.
