This chapter is based on the author's personal journey to attempt to bring an understanding of followership to Indonesia. Followership has been understudied and underappreciated in both academic literature and practice in Indonesia, possibly because of a specific interpretation of a famous Islamic leadership hadith. As such, it presents a powerful example of a cultural analysis that could be useful in other contexts. It also includes challenges that may be encountered teaching followership in Indonesia, and specific teaching strategies that can be used.
