While leadership has been extensively studied, the significance of followership has gained increasing recognition in recent years (Uhl-Bien et al., 2014). The panel will explore the value of generative dialogue and psychological safety in leadership and followership relationships. The panelists experienced shifting roles as leaders and followers within their professional relationships in the academy. They fostered psychologically safe environments where generative dialogue is expected when working with teams, colleagues, and followers. The session will be facilitated by a research consultant colleague. The team will share insights into effective practices and challenges for leaders and followers.
