Abstract
Purpose
Business schools, executive training programs, and best-selling books all recognize the importance of leadership, while followership has received limited attention in management training. The purpose of this paper is to present a brief questionnaire, which might be particularly useful for followership development.
Design/methodology/approach
A brief questionnaire is presented.
Findings
Part of the answers will establish the view that many of us are followers. This will help recognize that both followership and leadership roles are important for organizational success
Originality/value
It is a major challenge to bring followership out of the closet and this tool may help to introduce practical followership development programs in organizations
期刊介绍：
Development and Learning in Organizations: An International Journal is a unique management information resource for today"s busy managers who are seeking to develop their organization in the right direction. Case studies on leading companies and viewpoints from some of the best thinkers in the area of organizational development and learning combine to make this journal a very welcome addition to the management literature. In addition, as part of our special service, we scour through the mass of academic and non-academic literature to ensure that we keep up to date with the best and newest ideas. We then distil this information for our readers and present the most meaningful implications for managers in easy-to-digest reviews and commentaries.
