A ledger has two sides to create balance. The same can be said of partnerships. Partnerships need both leadership and followership. This episode explores the complimentary nature of these two roles. After all, you’re not leading if no one is following.

Accountants spend about 50% of their time engaged in followership according to a recent poll we conducted with CPA Canada with over 6,000 CPAs. How effective you are in your followership role is as important as your leadership role. What does active followership mean? How can you help your team do it better? Get practical tips from two of the most experienced followership trainers in the world.

Imagine you had a secret formula that supercharged your team, improving accountability, productivity, creativity and engagement by 17 to 43%! Imagine, also, that the same secret formula was trainable… in fact, more trainable than leadership and more widely applicable. What would that be worth to you? Learn how the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation FDIC and others have taken the surprising step of training followership, and how it has transformed their engagement and other performance metrics.

When executives fail, it is costly not only to their careers, but to the organization as well. In fact, executive derailment is estimated to cost organizations upwards of $2.7 million per person and the probability of derailment is 40%. When your latest merger and acquisition or change initiative fails, it costs much, much more. The root cause for both is often poor followership.

Each of us must be able to both lead and follow. In great collaborations, we take turns both leading and following. The relationship between leadership and followership is dynamic, context-specific, and ever-evolving. Join host Liz West and authors Marc and Samantha as they discuss how developing this skill can result in stronger interpersonal agility and lead to stronger teams.
