The Leadership Paradox: The Dual Role of Leader and Follower

Whether serving as a department chair, program director, dean, or in another leadership role, all leaders play the dual role of leader and follower. This workshop will focus on both roles—leader and follower. The leader role will be examined from the perspective of transactional and transformational leadership and how transformational leaders develop their followers as partners. The follower role will be developed from a new, validated conceptual model that examines effective followership and describes four follower styles. Emphasis will be placed on how an individual effectively deals with both roles.
Using video case studies from one of the most challenging times in U.S. history, the American Civil War battle of Gettysburg, this workshop is designed to use history as a metaphor for contemporary leadership issues in which the metaphors act as mental bookmarks.
The objectives of this Signature Series are to:
- examine a conceptual model of followership and the dynamic interpersonal interaction between leaders and followers;
- explore strategic decision making as a partnership between leaders and followers;
- learn the distinguishing characteristics and complementary facets of transactional and transformational leadership; and
- apply the conceptual roles of leader and follower to the environment of academic dental institutions.
