Yup. And when they micromanage they are cutting off the lifeline of their leadership - empowered, strategic followership...

Love her original work on followership. Looking forward to reading this one!

You should read her book! It is great!!!

Where'd the blog post go??? I was hoping to read that!

YES!

7/ Join the conversation! How can we support those whose talents lie beyond leadership roles? Let's redefine success together.

6/ How can we transform our work culture? Let's explore how we combine productivity, trust, and impact. And let's not just focus on productivity as the stepping stone to leadership. Can't you be effective without wanting to manage others?

5/ Picture a "followership-friendly" workplace, where contributions are valued irrespective of leadership aspirations. Imagine the potential!

4/ Let's talk retention. Companies can lose gifted workers by pushing them into roles they're not suited for or interested in. What if we supported their chosen paths instead?

3/ We often overlook vital contributions from team members who choose not to pursue leadership. Their expertise and dedication are invaluable. Are we valuing them enough

2/ Imagine being pressured into a management role you don't want. Many feel this push towards leadership as the only path to success, but what if you're not interested or comfortable with it? Let's challenge this stigma.

A cartoon illustration of a modern workplace where a smiling employee focuses on their task, while another person who seems to be in a 'leadership role' is in the background.. The setting highlights teamwork, inclusivity, and the value of non-leadership roles, with subtle text in the background reading "Success in All Roles."

1/ Let's talk about a workplace bias that's flying under the radar: the constant push for everyone to be "leaders". Is this causing more harm than good? 🤔 #LeadershipBias #WorkplaceCulture

Seriously hoping to make this one. Again - not sure, but hoping!

Wow - that sounds very interesting. As someone who advocates for empowered strategic followership, I'm sorry I won't be able to make the conference.
Will there be online access?

Followership is a growing topic in the world of leadership. In a recent leadership conference, followership was one of the core ideas that people chose as important for the next stage in leadership development and focus.
