Global Followership Conference

Creating teams that can dynamically plan and implement organizational programs is a key performance strategy to achieve organizational goals. Using Followership principles, developing teams can thrive in environments that typically slow in progression as complex implementation issues takeover timelines. Team creation processes seek specific attributes of team members to match the right people to right teams for optimal project workflow. Diverse team development has four essential characteristics that team members can flex-in and -out of as the teamwork evolves to implementation. This workshop will provide opportunities to practice creating teams that demonstrate followership acumen through intentional team-creation and teamwork.

Helping relationships involves asking for, as well as giving help. A natural reluctance to admit a need for help tends to hinder the two way flow necessary to a good helping relationship. This hands on exercise illustrates this principle essential for followers in any setting.

Whether in government, business, or community initiatives, this session proves that empowered followers drive sustainable change
