I would like to share information about the AOM panel symposium on leadership and followership in the HR Division. This conversation is especially relevant to the HR Division because leadership development, employee voice, engagement, and talent systems all depend on how leaders and followers jointly exercise influence at work. Please find the information below:
AOM Panel Symposium: "Two Ends, One System: Reimagining Leadership and Followership Together (Session #14742)."
Leaders don't exist without followers - so why do we keep studying them apart? ��
Join us for a panel conversation. Our panelists will dig into how leadership and followership are co-created - agency, role boundaries, identity, shared influence - and where the field should go next when we study leaders and followers as one system.
Come with questions; leave with new research directions. No pre-registration needed - just show up!
