Followership (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781648304071)

Leonard Bernstein once said, the most difficult instrument to play in the orchestra is second fiddle, and Barbara Kellerman tells us. followership does not mean changing the rank of followers but changing their response to their rank their response to their superiors, and to the situation at hand. Anyone who studies leadership and management know that the best leaders know how and when to follow. Not only is followership a crucial characteristic for a person to have before they become a great leader, but it's also something that must be cultivated effectively among your subordinates in order for your leadership to be effective. So, the big question is, how, how do we properly embody this vital attribute on ourselves? And how can we encourage and cultivated among all of our team members in our workplace? In this course, we're going to teach you how to do exactly that. Studies indicate that around 80% of organizational success is a result of follower contributions. 86% of employees and executives said that a lack of collaboration or ineffective communication is a main reason of workplace failure. These statistics show that followership is an increasingly important area that businesses should focus on. Our course is going to consist of a series of critical discussion points.
