Abstract

In this chapter I elaborate on strategic followership, which I briefly mentioned in the previous chapters. The Oxford Dictionaries1 define strategy “as a plan of action designed to achieve a long-term or overall aim.” This is the modern meaning, which emphasizes the extent to which a person or organization overcomes challenges to achieve a goal.2 According to the positive organizational scholarship literature, overcoming challenges to excel is otherwise termed transcendent behavior. This modern meaning evolved from stratagem, which etymologically derives from the Greek word stratēgos, meaning a scheme, especially one used to outwit an opponent or achieve an end. A careful reflection on the latter meaning suggests that strategy is unidimensional and focuses on problem resolution as in overcoming an enemy on one end and advancing or achieving an extraordinary outcome.
