One of my favorite activities when working with groups to inspire thinking about leadership and followership is to do some simple brainstorming to consider the various qualities, characteristics, responsibilities, and expectations that we attach to these two different people/roles. And to compare and contrast those lists.
In order to facilitate that, we’ve created a simple worksheet that you can use for your own personal reflection and group dialogue.
Leader-Follower Lists is a platform for ascertaining how we perceive leadership and followership to be similar and different.
For background and ideas about how to use this resource, please see:
Leader: the ideal human being?
And for further thoughts on both leadership & followership, see:
A Leader Is…
Followership is…? (not Twitter!)
