Chapter 15 in Handbook of Global Leadership and Followership, 2023, pp 401-429 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Followership and leadership are two dynamic and interactive influences that are interdependent and indispensable in the success of an organization. The practice of followership can be adapted to other industries, including healthcare, to empower all healthcare team members to optimize service delivery. Practicing effective followership significantly impacts organizational performances and serves as a valuable tool to maximize patient care and population health. The objective of this chapter is to integrate the concepts of followership with current practices in global healthcare settings. This chapter discusses global followership models and practices within healthcare settings by highlighting the following: (1) the association between the five types of followership models described by Kelley, 1988, with successful leadership, (2) the linkage between the concepts of “uniqueness” and “belongingness” and applying these to global healthcare settings, (3) the importance of a dynamic leadership-followership interaction within an organization, and (4) key points to address global health challenges by practicing effective followership across the globe.
