Yulia Tolstikov-Mast, Ph.D.  shares the concept of a global follower and especially of global followership as a force of power that can and does influence the far-reaching decisions of global leaders. Yulia is a global leadership and followership expert, an award-winning international leadership scholar, and an educator. Her scholarship and training focus on the internalization of leadership and followership education, non-Western approaches to leadership and followership, global followership and citizenship behaviors, and leader-follower role switching.  Her most significant contribution is the Handbook of International and Cross-Cultural Leadership Research Processes. The publication is a guide on conducting international research grounded in local epistemologies. Yulia was also Co-Investigator in Russia for the GLOBE 2020 Research Project.

  • “The message that was initiated by soccer players and was amplified by the followers, and it started making changes in the world.” 
  • “I suggest we start posing the question, ‘Who are you as a global follower?’ and really attach energy to that question.”
  • “I envision global followers as a force in numbers, in opinions, in actions.”
