    The key takeaways from the presentation are that effective leadership requires effective followership, and that followers play an active role in organizations rather than just passively following leaders' orders. The presentation discusses different models and typologies of followership styles.

    According to Robert Kelley's typology, the four types of followers are: alienated followers, conformist followers, passive followers, and effective followers. These are categorized based on their levels of independent/dependent thinking and active/passive behavior.

    According to Barbara Kellerman's typology, the five types of followers are: isolates, bystanders, participants, activists, and diehards. This typology is based on the single metric of level of engagement.

    Leader and follower

    Leadership (in the context of followership) is


    “inducing followers to act for certain goals that
    represent the values and the motivations – the needs
    and wants, the aspirations and expectations of both
    leader and followers.”

    Importance of followers
     Though leader may be the cog in the wheel, followers are
    the wheels that actually run.

     There can be no leader without atleast one follower.

     Most of us are more often followers than leaders.

     Characteristic of effective followers is enthusiastic,


    intelligent and self-reliant participation in the pursuit of an
    organizational goal.

    Misconceptions about Leadership and
    Followership

     Leadership myth – Leaders are all powerful and all-


    important.

     Following is simply doing what you are told to do.

     Followers inevitably draw their energy and aims, even their


    talents, from the leader.

    Leadership and Followership 1/28/2011 7


    Why do leaders need to know more about
    followers?

     Belief systems that value followership as highly as


    leadership enrich individuals and companies.

     Skills of the follower should not be seen as being the


    responsibility of the leader.

     Misconceptions about followership can turn to self-


    fulfilling prophecies (Pygmalion effect) and pull down
    efficiency of followers.

    Leadership and Followership 1/28/2011 8


    Why do leaders need to know more about
    followers?

     Followers are now thinking of themselves as free agents


    rather than dependent underlings.

     Cultural and technological changes have influenced what


    followers want and how they behave.

     Followers have distinct requirements:


     To feel significant.
     To feel part of a community.
     To feel excited.
