Abstract Drawing on 10 years of followership instruction, this chapter explores the authors’ methodology for immersing federal employees and graduate students in discussions about followership and the follower role as a means of enhancing workplace engagement and furthering mission objectives. Our practice has found that when participants explore the tenets of followership from an engagement perspective, perceptions of followers being in subservient obedience to leader authority transition into conceptualizations of a mission‐focused partnership with the leader.
