Teaching Followers Courage
www.teachingfollowerscourage.comHow can you build harmonious relations with team and hierarchy? How to best speak up with your hierarchy when you need to challenge their opinions or decisions? How to find a better balance between supportiveness and courage to disagree – and speak your truth? We are a community of academics and practitioners certified in the application of Courageous Followership concept in curricula, workshops and organizational culture. We are educators dedicated to teaching people followership in order to be strong and courageous. But what is Followership? Followership defines a role (not a person’s identity) and the tasks/actions accomplished by someone in a subordinate role. It can also be considered as a specific skill-set that complements leadership, a role within a hierarchical organization, among others. Followership is about supporting leaders and helping them to lead well/better. It is not about submission, but about complementarity, wisdom and collaborative culture. Leadership is not just done by a leader, and followership is not just done by followers. These two roles are normally interconnected and interchangeable, and both roles share the responsibility of a common purpose and mission. In a nutshell, it is about a work culture where followers will help leaders to be better leaders, and leaders will help followers to be better followers. Like a “dance” where the two roles co-create an outstanding performance that values wisdom over autocracy, collaboration over submission, harmony over competition, and a sense of togetherness over a sense of obligation. In today’s disrupted reality, this model is more important than ever, to create collective meaning, to heal and recover from multiple crisis, and to build organizations and work cultures that are profoundly human, cooperative and sustainable.
