    Leadership and Followership in Teams
    Alegbeleye, I. Dami; Kaufman, Eric K. (Springer, 2022-08-20)
    Organizations today are increasingly reliant on teams that consist of members that are geographically and culturally dispersed. As highlighted elsewhere in this book, global teams may consist of members who are raised in the democratic (but individualistic) culture of the Global North-West and those raised in the hierarchical (but collectivistic) culture of the Global South-East. Leadership scholars have suggested that effective teamwork requires individuals who are able to switch between effective leadership and followership behaviors and roles. However, while the leadership literature is rife with leadership in teams, little attention is paid to the process of switching between leadership and followership behaviors/roles in teams. Consequently, in this chapter, we aim to use research evidence to explain the process of switching between leadership and followership behaviors/roles in teams (i.e., shared leadership), as well as the impact of culture on shared leadership.

    Team-Focused Leadership Education: How Emerging Insights Inform Our Practice
    Kaufman, Eric K.; Alegbeleye, I. Dami; Cletzer, D. Adam; Gokhman, Ilya; Greenhaw, Laura (Association of Leadership Educators, 2022-06-27)
    The demand for high-quality team leadership education continues to increase. While many post-secondary leadership education programs have incorporated teamwork skills into their curriculum, there has been limited awareness of how team-focused leadership courses are being updated and adapted in response to emerging research and insights on team effectiveness. This panel session explores team-focused leadership education at multiple institutions and examines teamwork pedagogy in light of recent scholarship on best practices. Specifically, panelists will discuss the root causes of the persisting teamwork skills gap among college graduates, the benefits and pitfalls of utilizing team-based pedagogy, and course content changes from emerging theories, such as followership and shared leadership.
