Ira Chaleff spoke at Indiana University, The Randall L. Tobias Center For Leadership Excellence’s 2009 Multi-Sector Forum on the emergence of followership as a topic of research and discourse. Here, he places his pioneering work, The Courageous Follower, within the context of other contributions to this emerging field. Using Powerpoint, Chaleff discusses his model of courageous followership and talks about where and how it is having an impact among practitioners. The presentation is available here in five segments.
