Join Marc and Samantha Hurwitz in this Leadership Perspectives webinar as they share new ideas and practical advice from their important new book Leadership is Half the Story: A Fresh Look at Followership, Leadership and Collaboration. Their insights will change how you research and how you think about workplace roles.

Outcome of Attending

  • View an integrated model that treats leadership and followership as complementary roles, and learn why that changes how we study both
  • Gain practical techniques to evolve their own leadership development programs
  • Explore research and case studies showing how followership development has had significantly positive results, and why it is crucial for personal and organizational success
  • Learn useful tips for advancing the leadership and the followership skills of the organizations they work with and within

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.
