Honored posthumously, Joseph C.Rost was a distinguished scholar in leadership studies
and was most noted
for his conception of followership. Rost was a professor emeritus of leadership
studies at the University of San Diego (USD) in San Diego, CA where he was a
professor of leadership from 1976 to 1996. He received his Ph.D. from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison where he specialized in the politics of
education.
In his early career, Rost was a Christian Brother in the St. Louis,
Missouri Province for twenty-one years, and he served as a teacher and
administrator of several schools in the Midwest. After his retirement in 1996,
Rost collaborated with several graduates and doctoral students in leadership
studies at USD to inaugurate the Institute for the Advancement of Leadership. He
served as Executive Director of this nonprofit corporation until it ceased
operations in 1999. Rost’s Leadership for the Twenty-First Century (Praeger
1991) is one of the most quoted books about leadership in print. In this book,
Rost emphasized the shift in leadership/management to a more collaborative form.
His work is still used extensively in leadership courses today.
