Leadership and Followership Beliefs of Reserve Officers' Training Corp Cadets
Estevez, Mychel
Journal of Leadership Education, v18 n4 p67-81 Oct 2019
Using interview data from cadets (program participants) in the Reserve Officers' Training Corp (ROTC), I examined the beliefs cadets have about obedience. I scrutinize their ideas about followership and leadership, adding to the discussion on romance of and ethical followership and demonstrating how many cadets fall somewhere in the middle with their beliefs about the role of their leaders and whether they should question, obey, and/or disobey unethical or illegal orders.
