Together with her partner in all things, Marc Hurwitz, my guest Samantha Hurwitz is co-author of the game-changing book Leadership is Half the Story and co-founder of the innovative training and development company FliP University, based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Samantha and Marc are also co-founders of the Global Followership Conference, which is where she and I first met in 2019. She describes herself as a recovered corporate executive, and as Chief Encouragement Officer of Flip University, she and Marc are setting the gold standard for "pracademic" leadership and followership training in organizations of all sizes.
In this episode, Samantha shares both methods and strategies for training whole organizations in both leadership and followership, how this approach boosts inclusion and other crucial ROIs in today's professional landscape.
“When it comes to leadership development, the strongest return on investment is actually closer to the front lines than your senior executives.”
“Anytime when an organization has agreed to teach everyone at every level in both leadership and followership, it has been transformative.”
“If your organization is truly striving for equity… then you absolutely have to provide leadership development to everyone.”
“We want people to stop thinking about a leader-centric world and start thinking about a partner-centric world”
