Overview

Can you imagine a choreographer training only one dancer to lead while his or her partner sits in the lobby staring at the wall? Unthinkable! Yet this happens all the time within organizations. Half the partnership is missing! There is a notion that everyone should be a leader all the time, and if leadership is so game-changing, we must need more of it from everyone, all the time. In fact, research shows that it takes both roles – leadership AND followership – to get the best results. They are equally valuable. Leadership is one-half of a partnership. Join experts Dr. Marc Hurwitz and Samantha Hurwitz for this one-hour webcast that offers a host of new ideas and practical advice. Leadership is Half the Story: A Fresh Look at Followership, Leadership and Collaboration will change how you think about leadership development.

Attendees will learn

  • Practical techniques to evolve your leadership development programs by including followership.
  • How to build a stronger case for followership within your organization by understanding why it is a crucial skill for personal and organizational success.
  • About research and case studies where followership development has had significantly positive results.
  • Useful tips for advancing the followership AND leadership skills of the organizations you work with.
