- Title
Followership in Family and Consumer Sciences.
- Authors
McGregor, Sue L. T.
- Abstract
Followership is rarely discussed in the family and consumer sciences (FCS) profession. A case is made for FCS practitioners to intentionally focus on followership as the profession moves into the 21st century because followers are much more than nonleaders. This paper defines followership and characterizes effective followers. Seven types of followership power are identified followed by four types of followership. The paper ends with a discussion of holistic followership, concluding that FCS practitioners have to give themselves permission to be followers, value this contribution to the profession, and then take action to socialize and educate practitioners to the followership role.
