Can you imagine a choreographer training only one dancer to lead while his or her partner sits in the lobby staring at the wall? It’s unthinkable, yet this happens all the time within organizations. Half the partnership is missing. Join Marc and Samantha to learn the other half of the story — that it takes both, leadership and followership, to get the best results.
