Christian Monö (1977), is recognized for his work on “natural followership” and “collaborationship.” For nearly two decades, he has explored leadership and followership from the follower’s perspective. Drawing insights from various disciplines, as well as real-life observations, interviews, and practical experience, Monö presents a new perspective on what it means to lead and follow. His work has gained recognition both in his home country, Sweden, and internationally, with clients ranging from universities and corporations to organizations and the Swedish Army. In 2024, he was honored with the “Followership Award of Distinction” at the Global Followership Conference. Monö lives in Stockholm with his wife and two daughters.

Natural vs. Structural Leadership and Followership

Imagine you’re exhausted after a long day and just about to leave the office when your boss asks you to stay late to finish a report for the board of directors. Chances are you’ll agree—not because you admire your manager or care deeply about the board, but because you’ve signed a contract.

“If we argue that a leader’s success is determined by how well they get others to perform, why do we focus on leadership and not followership? Why invest in a single individual and ignore everyone else when it’s the performance of the collective that matters? The only logical explanation is that we believe leaders can control the behaviour and actions of others.”
