Do you think leading a mission requires being the Headmaster of Hogwarts? Do you feel like a "Passive Follower" waiting for orders from the Ministry of Magic , or an "Alienated Follower" criticizing every commit without proposing solutions? Have you ever wished your team had the same Ownership as the members of Dumbledore’s Army, where everyone is ready to act without waiting for a signal?

The truth is, victory against inefficiency doesn’t depend on a single "Chosen One," but on the quality of the Followership. Leadership is not a hierarchical title: it is a skill that is trained even (and especially) in executive roles. In this practical session, we will perform a "Paradigm Refactoring": we will learn that the most effective leaders only succeed if they know how to generate Exemplary Followers.

We will discover how to stop being mere "Survivors" (Pragmatic Followers) who only aim to make it to the end of the sprint and how to become the Go-to Person of the team: that figure who, through emotional intelligence, becomes an essential point of reference that is difficult to replace.

What we’ll brew in our "Defense Against Passivity" Curriculum:

The Exemplary Follower Code: How to balance a high level of engagement with independent and critical thinking to maximize your technical impact.

Installing Ownership: Using Focused Actions and intrinsic motivation to stop just "receiving" tasks and start driving them, regardless of your job title.

Self-Awareness & Self-Management (Your Personal Pensieve): Learning to recognize your mental patterns to act with intention instead of hitting "auto-pilot" under stress.

Becoming a "Go-to Person": How to train soft skills to facilitate collaboration, create a positive climate, and solve complex problems within a team.

Go-to Person vs. The Snake: How to transform cynicism into constructive criticism, moving from an "Alienated Follower" to an innovation engine for the system.

"It is not our abilities that show what we truly are… it is our systems." Leadership is a relational skill: if you learn to be an excellent follower, the entire team will level up.
