Description: People and organizations dedicate a lot of effort and resources strengthening their leadership skills.
Why is followership not as sought after? How did it get a lesser rep? Why do we not praise employees that take direction well as much as we applaud those that take initiative?
The success of effective organizations and great systems do not solely depend on leadership. They depend on the ability of the masses to follow through and carry out the leader's initiatives.
The culture and well‐being of our ECCs would benefit from incorporating a followership to our professional development offerings.
Learning Objectives:
At the culmination of this sessions, attendees will be able to answer the following questions:
1. What is followership and how does it differ from leadership? 2. What are the attributes of a great follower?
3. How can improving employees' attitudes (towards the concept of following) benefit center culture?
4. How to respond when following creates a moral or ethical dilemma; challenges your integrity
