Is followership a “thing”?

“…leadership can only occur if there is followership – without followers and following behaviours there would be no leadership.” In this podcast, Associate Editor of BMJ Leader Tim Swanwick talks to Hester Mannion, a psychiatry trainee at South London and the Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust , and Iain Tennant, a GP trainee in Kidbrooke, South London. They comment on the paper “Followership: much more than simply following the leader” (https://bmjleader.bmj.com/content/early/2020/02/04/leader-2019-000162). The Learning Zone series explores key concepts in a short, simple and practical way.
