· Analyze the key components of effective leadership within the context of personal, team, and organizational dynamics.
· Apply leadership and followership theories and models within diverse multi-cultural and global settings.
Background Information
Followership is a discipline of supporting leaders and helping them to lead well. It is not submission, but the wise and good care of leaders, done out of a sense of gratitude for their willingness to take on the responsibilities of leadership, and a sense of hope and faith in their abilities and potential. – Reverend Paul Beedle
This paper not only will enable you to demonstrate your learning from this first workshop week of this course, but also will build upon your learning from the LDR-260 Critical Thinking course.

Instructions
1. Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
2. Read the following articles:
a.
Followership – Understanding the Basics of Teamwork(new tab)
b.
Followership Research: Looking Back and Looking Forward (PDF document)
3. Informed by the two articles assigned for reading as well as the reading and videos from other Workshop one assignments, write a two-page paper (no more than 2 ½, excluding the title page and reference page) that creates a plan for implementing followership development in an organization of which you are a part (your workplace or a civic organization, for example). In the material provided from Dr. Ron Riggio, it was noted that organizations do not usually envision and design “follower development” initiatives. (Usually, they are more interested in leadership development initiatives). But you are going to create a brief, follower development plan. Your paper should explain your observations about areas of follower weaknesses or opportunities for improvement in the organization. Then, your paper should propose strategies for developing followers based upon the assessment to address deficiencies in good followership, but also to build upon existing strengths in followers and leaders alike. Be thoughtful and creative (assume that a reasonable budget would be available to you to develop your strategies).
