HR Perspective on Followership and Leadership Training - Julie Newman

Julie Newman, a Certified Human Resources Leader in Ontario, Canada, shares her experience coordinating a recent implementation of leadership and followership training for a nonprofit client.

Julie is a well-rounded HR professional with 15 years of experience in all areas of HR, from building organizational culture, performance management, recruitment, employee relations, and health and safety. She’s really done it all! Prior to transitioning to HR consulting, Julie spent over 11 years in senior leadership within the non-profit sector.  Since discovering followership several years ago, she has become an advocate for using the leadership-followership model in organizations and in her own work to create and support welcoming and inclusive workplaces.  

"How better can you tell your people that they mean something to you than to say all of you are leaders and all of you are followers. "

"It sends such a strong message to your people that you value them in their development but also in what they have to say. "

"Diving into followership opens this whole amazing great world and a different view and once you go there you can’t go back."

"You need to be a leader in the HR specialty but also the follower to really apply those pieces in the best possible way for the organization that you are supporting."
