Most businesses and organizations understand the importance of great leadership, but the concept of followership is still largely ignored or labeled as undesirable. Tango dancers understand, however, that both roles are equally important for building healthy, functional, and creative relationships. By identifying key followership skills familiar to tango dancers and applying them to work relationships, communication with coworkers and supervisors becomes smoother, more effective, and more rewarding. The seminar demonstrates how leadership and followership complement one another in the work place environment, and presents a three-phase model for relationship building that mirrors the tango learning process. Participants will take away simple techniques they can implement immediately to improve their professional relationships, whether working in-person or remotely.
