Abstract

This article critically examines Warren Bennis's understanding of leadership, with a particular focus on the overlooked aspect of followship. While Bennis's theories have greatly influenced the leadership discourse, their limited consideration of follower perspectives raises crucial concerns. By exploring the intersection of leadership and followship, this article uncovers the gaps in Bennis's approach and emphasizes the need for a more integrative understanding of leadership dynamics. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, this article aims to contribute to a more nuanced and holistic viewpoint on leadership, highlighting the importance of follower perspectives in effectively sustaining leadership excellence.
