CIO Brett Lansing's Five-Point Approach To Building Followership
CIO, Thursday, September 14,2023
IT leaders cannot lead without willing followers. The best way to build this vital circle of your professional network is by empowering them.
Your strategy's only as strong as it is implemented well. And you can implement it well only to the extent that your followership is strong.
Your followership is the most potent circle of your professional network, and it, perhaps more than anything else, empowers you to influence and implement, with or without authority.
Brett Lansing, CIO of multibillion-dollar home healthcare provider AccentCare, has written the playbook on building followership. That expertise and his own followership has landed him a chief technical role several times and earned him Dallas CIO of the Year in 2022.
