9:30 - 10:30 - The Power of Followership

As a culture, we have been often taught to "lead and not follow." In fact, much time, attention, and money is spent training leaders to most effectively mentor and guide their organizations. However, there is another important side of the leadership story—followership! Why do I care to be a good follower and how does that transform and train me to become an effective leader? Attendees will learn how followership creates leadership, leadership informs followership, and hear a fresh perspective about their powerful role as a follower and leader in a new and empowering way.
