BY DAY 5

Respond to two or more of your colleagues’ posts in one or more of the following ways:

• Ask a clarifying question about your colleague’s description of their effectiveness as a follower.
• Relate one or more of your own suggestions for improving your followership skills to that of your colleague’s. (This could include identifying an additional way that you might improve your own skills based on what your colleague shared.)
• Share an insight you gained from your colleague’s explanation of how effective followership translates to effective leadership or their recommendations for leaders to better empower and support followers.

Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you have learned or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments your colleagues made.
