Abstract

Many universities offer one or more courses on leadership that include followership as a topic. A few have offered a complete course on followership. However, there is little information on postsecondary followership training. This chapter explores the unique issues of introducing followership to students, many of whom have been told their entire lives that leadership is everything. This chapter highlights followership courses and programs at institutions that offer them, and explores the delivery of current practices, with suggestions for increasing efficacy.
