Leadership - Followership 360

Leadership-Followership 360° adds to the topic of leadership by including its often neglected companion-followership. Like leadership, exemplary followership must be embraced if teams are to excel in today's competitive environment. The leader-follower relationship is critical in organizations that are horizontally structured and that require open communication, innovation, and synergy among its talented workforce. Contrary to the stereotypical description of followers as being docile and needing to be led, exemplary followers are highly competent, self-motivated individuals who help propel the organization to the next level. Leadership-Followership 360° also discusses the interdependent relationship between leaders and followers. It redirects one's focus to move from an individual point of view to thinking about the team's success. The 360° implies that the process is designed to impact the entire organization. Through reading this book, individuals will be inspired to examine their reasons for being on the team, understand and appreciate their leadership and/or followership role(s), and learn to operate as a dynamic team member!
