Followership Training 【Fostering Independent Thought in Your Team】

Followership Training Overview

Followership training helps cultivate followers who can actively support the organization and contribute to its strength.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in followership, which refers to the ability of individuals to support leaders and take initiative as team members. In an era where diversity in organizations is valued and there's a growing demand for bottom-up input and flexible management, the importance of the role of "followers" is being recognized alongside that of "leaders." Our program aims to train individuals who can lead their teams from the role of a follower, thereby improving overall team performance and fostering a more collaborative and productive work environment.

Importance of Followership

Followership is a mindset and behavior that focuses on supporting leaders while actively contributing to the team’s goals. In an organization, followers who can express their opinions and perspectives while working towards team objectives are crucial. By learning and applying the skills of followership, individuals can enhance their ability to collaborate with others, support their leaders effectively, and, ultimately, contribute to team success. This can lead to improved morale, increased productivity, and a more innovative and dynamic work environment.

Developing Followership

To be a valuable follower, individuals must possess several key skills:
・The Ability to Take Initiative
Followers should be proactive and willing to take steps without always waiting for instructions.
・The Ability to Think Independently
Effective followers can express their own thoughts and opinions clearly and contribute to the team's decision-making process.
・The Ability to Collaborate with Leaders
Strong followers can effectively communicate with leaders and work together towards shared goals.

The Relationship Between Leaders and Followers

Leaders and followers complement each other. A leader’s role is to guide and inspire the team, while followers support the leader’s vision and ensure smooth operations within the team. This mutual relationship helps to achieve the organization’s goals, with each playing a distinct but interconnected role.
