Eng Leader Skill Clinic: Effective Followership

Catalog description

Leadership is often framed as a matter of title or position, but the people who shape teams most powerfully are not always the ones in charge. This clinic invites students to examine followership as a distinct and learnable set of skills: the ability to contribute with initiative, support a leader's vision without surrendering independent judgment, and influence team outcomes from any position. Students will explore what distinguishes passive compliance from active, engaged followership, and why the capacity to follow well is not a steppingstone to leadership but an enduring part of it.
