There are several models that attempt to categorize different types of followership. Kelly's model describes four types: sheep, who are passive and uncritical thinkers; yes people, who are active but also uncritical; survivors, who do just enough to get by; and effective followers, who are active, independent thinkers. Potter and Rosenbach's model places followers on axes of relationship initiative versus performance initiative, identifying politicians, partners, contributors, and subordinates. The Curphy-Roellig model evaluates followers based on critical thinking versus engagement, identifying criticizers, self-starters, brown-nosers, and slackers. Effective followership requires both independent, critical thinking as well as active participation. The nature of the leader
The document discusses various models and principles of followership. It begins by outlining four principles of followership, noting that everyone takes on follower roles at some point. It then examines the Potter and Rosenbach followership model, which categorizes followers into politician, partner, subordinate, and contributor roles based on their focus on performance and relationships. Next, it analyzes the Curphy followership model, which evaluates followers based on their critical thinking and engagement levels, identifying four follower types: criticizer, self-starter, slacker, and brown-noser. The document concludes by discussing the role of leaders in bringing about social change and qualities of effective social work leaders.
This document summarizes several models of follower typologies:
1. Abraham Zaleznik's model categorizes followers as impulsive, compulsive, masochistic, or withdrawn based on their levels of dominance and submission.
2. Robert Kelley's model identifies five follower types - alienated, passive, conformist, exemplary, and pragmatic - based on their motivation and behavior.
3. Ira Chaleff's model places followers into four quadrants based on their levels of support and challenge of leaders: partners, implementers, individualists, and resources.
4. The document also discusses isolates, bystanders, participants, activists, and diehards based on their engagement levels
The document provides an overview of followership and different types of followers. It discusses how expectations of followers have changed over time from passive obedience to wanting more meaningful work. It also notes that everyone plays the role of follower at some point and outlines a followership model with four types: self-starters, criticizers, slackers, and brown-nosers based on two dimensions of critical thinking and engagement. Self-starters are described as highly engaged and critically thinking followers who proactively seek to improve performance.

Peter F. Drucker, the “father of modern management,” promoted heroic leadership throughout his career, noting “The Army trains and develops more leaders than do all other institutions together—and with a lower casualty rate.” In Heroic Leadership, William A. Cohen, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and former student of Drucker, reveals the fundamental principles of Heroic Leadership and what this characteristic entails—leading a group with absolute integrity while inspiring individual performance to a personal best and building a team spirit of sacrifice for the common good.

This document provides an overview of building leadership in a community. It discusses defining leadership and the importance of ethics for community leaders. It introduces the R.A.T.E. model for developing community leadership, which includes recruiting, assessing, teaching, and engaging leaders. The document also covers unique challenges for community leaders, such as working with volunteers, and presents hypothetical ethical situations for discussion. Overall, the document aims to help communities identify and develop new generations of leaders to sustain progress.
The document discusses how individuals come to be seen as leaders or followers. It proposes that identity construction and self-concept play a key role, where individuals who see themselves as confident and risk-taking are more likely to identify as leaders. There are also five types of followers identified: conformist, alienated, pragmatic, passive, and exemplary. The process of identifying as a leader or follower is influenced by relational recognition from others, collective endorsement from a group, and directly claiming or granting of the leader/follower identities through verbal and non-verbal acts. Rewards and risks associated with leadership also impact this identification and construction process.
This document discusses factors that contribute to the development of leadership skills. It summarizes that leadership is complex and influenced by a variety of variables, including personal traits, drives for power, training, experience, intelligence, competence, power, circumstances, and the needs of followers. The document then examines specific leadership traits, leadership drives, the debate around whether leaders are born versus made, formative experiences that shape leaders, the importance of both experience and training, different sources of power for leaders, and factors that enable charismatic leadership.

- Contingency theories propose that effective leadership depends on matching a leader's style to situational factors. Fiedler's contingency model measured leader-member relations, task structure, and position power to determine if a task-oriented or relationship-oriented style would be most effective.

Dyadic Approaches: Leader-Member Exchange
Theory
Agenda
• Recap
• Midterm Debrief
• Leader-Member Exchange Theory: What is it?
• Guest Speaker - CANCELED
Recap
• Servant leadership differs from many other leadership theories
by emphasizing behaviors that put followers first
• Servant leadership speaks to altruism among leaders. A strong
motivation to help others may therefore be a prerequisite
• It is critical that followers are receptive to servant leadership;
otherwise perception of micromanagement
Leader-Member Exchange
Theory
What is it?
What is it?
• Leadership as a process
• Focuses on the interactions between a leader and individual
followers
• Differs from trait, skills and behavioral perspectives as we
have covered them so far
• Differs from theories focusing on the context and
contingencies of leadership (next time)
Illustration
Dyadic relationship
between leader and
follower is the focal
point for LMX.
Northouse 2016: 138
Two streams
• Descriptive: What does the relationship look like?
• Prescriptive: What kinds of relationships should the leader
build with followers?
Descriptive
• Assumption that
leaders treat all
followers in a collective
way is not realistic
• Differences in the
quality of relationships
may exist
• Work unit viewed as a
series of linkages
Northouse 2016: 139
In-Groups versus Out-Groups
• Leaders form unique
relationships with each
follower
• Some relationships are
of higher quality (the ‘in-
group’ ones)
Northouse 2016: 140
In-Groups versus Out-Groups
In-Group
• Expanded role responsibilities
(extra-role; beyond job
description)
• Based on mutual trust and
respect
• More information, influence,
and attention
Out-Group
• Formal responsibilities as
defined in employment contract
• Formal communication
• Monitoring and incentivizing
How to become in-group member?
• In-group versus out-group status based on …
• How well follower works with the leader and vice versa
• How followers involve themselves in negotiating new role
responsibilities and tasks that go beyond formal job
description
Implications of LMX
• High-quality exchanges (i.e., more in-group relationships) have
been linked to positive outcomes for …
• Leaders, followers, groups (work units), and organizations
• Examples: Job performance, commitment, retention,
satisfaction and role clarity
Prescriptive
• Emphasizes that leaders should develop high-quality (in-group)
relationships with all followers rather than a few
• 3 phases of leadership making as it develops over time …
• 1: Stranger phase
• 2: Acquaintance phase
• 3: Mature partnership phase
Northouse 2016: 143
The LMX Dilemma: Out-Group Formation
• Why does out-group membership tend to occur? What causes it?
• What, if anything, can be done to prevent or remedy out-group
formation?
• Consider the leader, followers,.

A useful distinction between managers and leadersAcquate
The words manager, leader, executive, and administrator are often used as if they were more or less interchangeable. Yet there is a vast difference in talent and skill set implied between calling someone a “real leader” or “a manager.” But what is it that determines such a distinction, and could it help identify critical competencies and clarify vital responsibilities?
In this session we will have a look at some important and useful distinctions between the capabilities and talents needed by administrators, managers, executives and leaders in order to be successful.

Part Two will describe models for effective interpersonal communication and understanding assumptions. The full workshop is designed to help participants reflect on their own leadership abilities and communication styles.
The document discusses several theories of leadership, including:
1) Trait theory, which attempts to identify specific traits associated with effective leadership.

4) Contingency theory, which states there is no single best leadership style and effectiveness depends on matching the leader's style to situational factors like the leader-follower relationship.
The document discusses various components and models of leadership. It describes a leader's role in developing and communicating a vision, using strategic management to achieve goals in competitive markets, and motivating human resources. It discusses models of leadership including Adair's model which focuses on balancing tasks, teams, and individuals.
