Overview

Review highlights distinctions between followership and leadership, suggesting co-creation approaches may enhance understanding.

Key Points

  • Many studies on followership actually describe leadership or employee behavior, causing confusion.
  • Less than 10% of papers categorized as followership utilize co-creation approaches, indicating limited perspective.
  • Theoretical boundaries are established to clarify distinctions between followership, leadership, and employeeship.
  • Reversing the lens and co-creation approaches are identified as central concepts for advancing followership research.
