Correlating Critical Thinking Behaviors to Kelley’s Independent/Critical Thinking Dimension: Becoming the Followership QUEEN - J. Strong Followership scholars must seek empirical connections and develop behaviorally anchored followership competencies such as critical thinking. Although critical thinking has been identified as one of the essential skills needed for success, many employers find that skill lacking, emphasizing the importance of developing this behavior. This study examined the relationship between Kelley’s independent/critical thinking dimension and the five behaviorally anchored constructs of the QUEEN Critical Thinking Model. The findings of this study show statistically significant positive correlations between Kelly's dimension of independent/critical thinking and all five constructs of the QUEEN Critical Thinking Model. Thus, moving Kelly's dimensions from descriptive to developmental.
The State of Followership in Leadership Education - D. Alegbeleye & O. Ofumwengbe In this study, we analyzed the curricula of 85 leadership education programs in the United States to explore the extent to which leadership educators and trainers incorporate followership into their programs and how it is represented and described in their curricula. Findings revealed a scarcity of followership courses in leadership education curricula. Even when followership is taught, it is often presented as a topic rather than a standalone course. These findings provide valuable insights into the current state of followership in leadership education.
Who’s Adapting to Whom or What? The Role of Followership in Adaptative Leadership - K. B. Lowe & R. Riggio Interest in the construct of adaptive leadership has grown markedly amongst scholars and practitioners. While the offering of adaptive leadership training by practitioners appears to have run far ahead of scholarly theorizing around what adaptive leadership entails and how we should measure its key variables, there is broad agreement about various elements of adaptive leaders(hip). Largely missing from these narratives are the role of followers in the need for, or the enabling of, adaptive leadership. The central question we seek to interrogate in this session is: How should we model followers(hip) in the study of adaptive leadership? (97 words).
How does followership measure up? A new measure of followership behaviour expectations - R. Sims Despite growing interest in followership in the management literature there is not yet an agreed, well validated, measure of followership behaviours. This presentation summarises my development and testing of a new measure of expectations held about followership behaviours.
