Reihe: Christian Faith Perspectives in Leadership and Business

From a Biblical perspective, followership is an important aspect of leadership and is exemplified in the lives of numerous individuals in the Bible. These examples offer valuable guidance for how followership can be applied in modern organizations.

Divided into three parts, this volume explores the definition and impact of followership on leadership, examining its interdependence with servant leadership, as well as the positive and negative aspects of the relationship between followers and leaders. The book also delves into how followers share power in the workplace and the characteristics and behaviors of followers.

Overall, this work contributes to the emerging field of followership in organizational leadership research, with a particular emphasis on the Biblical perspective but also relevant to broader leadership studies.
