Would you agree that developing leaders matters? And that exploring contemporary leadership means being open to doing things differently? 

Traditional approaches to leadership don’t always deliver what leaders, teams or organisations need.  Leadership programs often do not stick. Even with significant investments the changes we hope for don’t always show up. 

There is another way.

Followership is a necessary but misunderstood part of leadership in organisations.  It is the missing piece in the leadership puzzle. 

Leaders and followers achieve success together when both engage in effective followership and leadership. 

Followership challenges how you may think about workplace relationships and roles. A better understanding of followership behaviours and the contribution followership makes to organisations has implications for human resource management practices and for professional development of both followers and leaders. 

Stepping up and stepping back: core followership behaviours, facilitators, and expectations in the workplace. My PhD research explored followership from the perspectives of both followers and leaders.  I identified core followership behaviours, which are distinct from other behaviours which employees display in the workplace. I also identify facilitators and inhibitors of those core followership behaviours.  link to the abstract/summary of my (award winning) thesis 

Curious about how followership shifts the focus as we look to new, more effective, ways of leading?
