The studies in this volume examine what it means to "reverse the lens" in leadership research by studying how followers perceive and enact their own roles in the co-production of leadership. The contributions highlight new research on followers' needs, motivations, and attributions as critical aspects of the leadership relationship. They present new theories and perspectives on the study of leadership and followership as well as potential directions for further research. The followercentric approach to leadership covers questions such as: How do followers perceive followership, i.e., construct and enact their roles in relation to leaders? What does it mean to be labelled a follower? How do individual characteristics and qualities of followers influence the development of leaders? What roles do followers' needs, values, wants, and preferences play in their tolerance or affinity for certain leadership styles? What types of leadership help in developing effective followership and what types of followership help in developing effective leadership?
