FOLLOWERSHIP

LD 4-2C

2 Each of you have experienced what it is like to follow someone else. You recorded some of those experiences in your Knob Year Journal under paragraph 1-2, Leadership Frame of Reference. Examples:

  • Being a member of a sports team
  • Serving on a project team for an academic class
  • Holding a job – working for someone else
  • Being a member of your family
  • Your new role as Freshmen at The Citadel will bring this notion of being a follower to a whole new level! Leader Subordinate Situation

Followership- What is it?

The Leader Development Model

• The first stage in The

Citadel’s four-stage

leader development

model is to “prepare”

• What are you

preparing for?

  • To lead
  • What else?

The Citadel Training Model

• Five Steps

  • Set expectations
  • Build necessary skills
  • Give feedback
  • Follow through with consequences
  • Work for growth in others

• Right now, in the “build necessary skills”

step, you are building skills as a

subordinate

Preparing yourself to lead

• Leaders prepare by expanding their

knowledge, developing self-awareness,

and getting ready for expected and

unexpected challenges

• As leaders expand their knowledge, they

will also become more aware of their

strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Open your Knob Year Journals to paragraph 1-

1, Strengths and Weaknesses

  • What does that paragraph mean when it says

often times our strengths and weaknesses “are

two sides of the same coin”?

  • On page 4 of your Knob Year Journal, make a

list of what you think are your strengths and

weaknesses

  • Be prepared to discuss them

What you can expect from your cadet leaders : The Principles of CTM

  • Leadership as service
    • To get to know you as a person and to learn what are your legitimate needs
    • To meet those legitimate needs in order to allow you to better focus on and accomplish the organizational mission
    • To put their own needs aside and devote time and energy to create an environment where you are both cared for and empowered SOURCE: The Citadel Training Manual, p

What you can expect from your cadet leaders : The Principles of CTM

  • Accountability
    • To go beyond the mere “responsibility” of their position and to assume the intrinsic ownership, investment, and commitment that comes with holistic “accountability”
    • To extend their care for you to every aspect of your legitimate needs; even those that may originate outside of The Citadel
    • To be fully invested in your success, health and welfare, and growth and development SOURCE: The Citadel Training Manual, p4- 5

of something bigger than yourselves
