LEADERSHIP AND FOLLOWERSHIP PRESENTATION: SECTION 1
An important part of mastering any topic in social science (and leadership is such a topic) is being able to evaluate how and why an observed practice, or set of witnessed behaviors and interactions among people, led to intended outcomes or not. The key to your evaluation will be to use relevant, documented best practices and theoretical frameworks about leadership and followership to support your evaluations. For example, it is one thing to have an opinion about why someone is an effective leader; it is quite another to be able to explain how and why they are effective, using leadership knowledge to support your reasoning.
During the next 3 weeks, you will develop and formalize a presentation based on the following scenario:
You have been asked by your manager to present at this year’s annual Dynamic Leadership conference. The subject of your presentation is on followership and how it contributes to effective leadership in a business context.The basic outline for this presentation will include three sections:
Section 1: Followership Defined
Section 2: The Leader-Follower InteractionSection 3: Traits of Leadership and Followership
In each of the next 3 weeks, you will complete and submit one section of the presentation. Each section will include not only the slides for the presentation but a completed speaker notes section that will serve as the script for your presentation. For the final presentation, due in Week 6, you will need to provide the completed PowerPoint slide deck (with script for all three sections).
For this week’s Assignment, you will begin by completing Section 1 of the PowerPoint presentation. In addition to the slide content, you will also need to include text in the speaker notes section of each slide that would serve as the script you would use to deliver this presentation to a group of people. As you prepare your presentation and script, be sure to cover all items outlined for Section 1, including the incorporation of references to appropriate academic sources, such as those found in the Learning Resources or those in the Walden Library.
Submit Section 1 of your presentation and script. Be sure you are fully addressing the following in 3–5 slides, excluding references:
Section 1: Followership Defined
Identify the qualities and behaviors of followers who contribute to the success of an organization.
Using at least one example from your professional life, analyze how leaders can draw value from their followers.
Summarize the responsibilities of followers in an age in which the complexities of leadership and pace of change are ever increasing.
