O’Neal – Initial Post Followership is a necessary ingredient in shared model of leadership. Current literature I found defines followership as, “the leadership practiced by individuals who are in positions of responsibility without authority” (Bunin et.al, 2022) Those in a followership role actively support a leader and their organization. The term follower somewhat carries a stigma to it. Most take offense to being called a follower when the role is crucial to the development of a leader. As the learning to dance article notes, the term followership is often linked to negative and demeaning words like passive, weak and conforming (Batcheller, 2012) However, without a follower, there is no leader. The dancing guy video illustrates the significance of followership and the process that it organically appears. One person steps up to a role of leading and sticks with the task of completing it alone, persuasive to others to join. Once gaining a follower, the rest of the team jumps on board. Baird notes in a study that the relationship of the follower is aligned with the notion that the team conflict may not be uniformly received by the team (Baird et.al, 2022) thus noting that the second person as stated in the dancing guy video has the power to make or break the leader. The video shows how leadership and followership work in conjunction with each other. Followership and leadership are complementary sets of behaviors that jointly contribute to positive team dynamics (Baird et.al, 2022) References: Baird, N., & Benson, A. J. (2022).
