    Advancing Followership Discourse in Theory and Practice
    Kaufman, Eric K.; Oyedare, Israel; Chaleff, Ira (International Leadership Association, 2023-10-13)
    Recently, there have been efforts geared towards advancing the discourse of followership both in the academic and organizational context, as individuals are becoming increasingly aware of the role they play as followers in the achievement of predetermined goals. To ensure that discourses on followership are given a well-deserved scholarly appreciation and recognition, it has become imperative to continue creating this awareness. This workshop will engage participants in both contemporary and historical perspectives on followership. More awareness of followership discourse(s) can help leadership scholars and organizational leaders recognize the importance of integrating followership into leadership education and having followership as a standalone field of study. Using the World Café approach, participants will be taken through the evolution of followership over the decades. Insights from round table discussions will be shared, and ideas for future applications will be developed.

    Followership and Discourse(s) Over Time
    Kaufman, Eric K.; Chaleff, Ira; Oyedare, Israel (2023-03-25)
    While scholars have documented distinct leadership discourses through the ages, less attention has been given to potential complementary or parallel followership discourses. This session will leverage the brain trust of conference participants to develop a preliminary outline or typology of followership discourse(s). The session will begin with creation of a timeline of relevant historical events, which will inform a World Café discussion of how followership has evolved over time. The session will close with discussion of insights gained and potential for future application.
