Followership: A different side of leadership

Date/Time:  

Friday, October 20, 2023, 9:30 AM (EDT) - 12:00 PM (EDT)

Workshop Overview:

The leader-follower relationship is integral to successfully leading people in the workplace. Following direction while supporting others and learning from your leader is part of what makes followership a complex but essential part of any fulfilling leadership journey. Combatting the myth that followership is a deficient characteristic of leadership and shifting the focus towards followership as a foundation of leadership is at the heart of this interactive, practical, conversation-based workshop. 

Learning Outcomes: 

  • Introduce followership as a new or different component of leadership. 

  • Recognize the role of followership as a core skill to develop as part of your personal leadership journey.
