Course Description: This course is on Followership and Leadership with the
purpose to educate students on the importance of the dynamic relationships
between leadership and followership based on Dr. Kellerman’s textbook,
Leadership, and Followership. This course requires an intense reading and research
agenda. Followership is critical to each’s leadership development. The course is
designed to correct the over-emphasis on leaders and misguided and even mistaken
under-emphasis on followers – in the workplace and the society at large. The
general subject has two primary purposes: One is theoretical - to provide students
with leadership and now followership with a new and different lens through which
to view the leader-follower relationship. The other is practical – for in real life we
are followers much more often than we are leaders. This does not mean that we are
without power and influence. Therefore, the following questions will be addresses
of how subordinates can and should relate to their superiors: Who exactly is a
follower? Why do we follow? How do leaders and followers relate? What are the
1
differences among followers? What do leaders need to know about followers? And
what are the distinctions between good and bad followers? The presumption is that
to understand leadership; we need take into account not only those who exercise
power, authority, and influence; but also those on whom power, authority, and
influence are being exercised. There is another presumption as well: that to
instruct on good followership is as important to the common good as it is to
instruct on good leadership (Kellerman, 2008).
