We all understand the importance of great leadership, but what about its counterpart – followership? Previously dismissed as unimportant, the concept of followership is gaining traction as a critical way of describing the skill set that, in many ways, makes ethical and effective leadership possible.
Think about it, can anyone truly lead if no one chooses to follow?
Ideally, followers and leaders collaborate on a common purpose, making one another’s work stronger and better.
Sharna Fabiano, Coach & Facilitator, will be walking us through how changing our perspective and viewing ourselves as leaders and followers, regardless of job title, normalizes mutual support and affirms everyone’s value. She’ll also talk about how to encourage more authentic dialogue and more inclusive and equitable decision-making.
In this chat you’ll learn:
- How understanding the concept of active followership helps groups collaborate
- What a healthy flow of leading and following actually looks like in practice
- How to strengthen followership skills in yourself and others
