Integrating Followership Into Leadership Programs

Abstract Followership is more than just a topic to be tacked on to the body of a leadership program; it fundamentally alters the way students engage with leadership theory and practice. In this chapter, the authors draw on 15 years of experience supporting, modifying, and delivering followership training within leadership programs to provide the unique planning and design elements required to include followership into leadership programs, along with samples of course design and practical classroom activities.
