Leadosophy is purely about using philosophical thought to deepen our understanding of leadership. This show relies upon the tools of intellect: meaningful dialogue, introspection and reflection, critical examination, rigorous inquiry, and an open mind. We will challenge our assumptions, together, in hopes of co-creating new knowledge and understanding. This is a crowdsourcing approach to exploring all topics surrounding and touching upon leadership, leadership theories, and followership.

In this episode, Jess and Tim discuss an article by Weber et al. (2022) titled "Building Individual and Organizational Wellness Through Effective Followership." The authors discuss how physicians in the healthcare industry can combat the effects of burnout with the positive forces of effective followership. Although the article is geared towards healthcare professionals, its applicability is wide-ranging. For example, professionals in all industries and organizations experience burnout.

Panel Members:1. Rob Alexander, Executive Director, Small Business Development Centers in Springfield2. Darin Gerdes, Professor of Management, Charleston Southern UniversityQuestion for discussion:For an organization to thrive, are there any “necessary conditions” required internal to the organization and its members? By “necessary conditions,” I mean that an organization will be ineffective at a minimum or ultimately fail to achieve its goals without these conditions.I’m trying to dig up the roots of organizational effectiveness, and I am interested in the necessary conditions required for all organizations, regardless of size or purpose. We might also delineate between requirements needed for survival versus conditions necessary for thriving.One prominent example might be purpose: No organization is sustainable without a purpose. For example, some organizations form to solve an immediate problem. Once that problem is solved, the organization dissolves. Other organizations might fail because an organization’s purpose becomes confused, unclear, or even disagreed upon by its members.

This episode is about an organization's environment, a powerful influencing force in any organization. The analogy here is comparing the organizational environment to a crop's soil, and soil fertility is vital for maximizing crop yield. If you guessed that the people within the organization are the crop of your choice, you would be right. Crop yield might be analogous to the growth or learning of organizational members. Crop yield might also be analogous to how empowered members of the organization feel or how much autonomy they have to pursue mastery of their crafts. Now we get to the central thesis of the soil analogy: the richer the soil, the richer the crop yield. We can unpack what it means to have rich soil within an organization. Does it follow that the richer the organizational environment is, the more growth (or growth opportunities) organizational members will experience?Key Assumption: The more effort or energy an organization deliberately pours into its members, the more **effective** that organization will be. As applied to organizational effectiveness, Leadosophy defines “effort or energy” as organizational knowledge, organizational tools, and organizational resources, or KTR.KTR is a main component of the soil.
