Does Shared Leadership Eliminate the Notion of Followership in Organizations?

Abstract

This text explains the concept of leadership in the context of shared leadership within organizations by highlighting the model of followership in organizational change. Even if the shared leadership is established through the leader of the team, members of a team can have responsibilities and they can influence each other. But this theory of shared leadership raises limits such as the notion of trust for example. A good follower capacity of team member allows the success of this model; this is why we can use the term shared follower instead of shared leadership.
