OUR FEATURED PROGRAM: The Leadership/ Followership System
Our award-winning signature program for building collaborative, partner-centric cultures.
For more than 15 years, we’ve pioneered the integration of leadership and followership as one powerful system.
Our program has helped organizations around the world develop more capable leadership, more empowered followership, and more Generative® Partnerships.
Two phases. One integrated system.
Leadership first: shared language + stronger leadership behaviours
Followership next: coachability, partnership, shared responsibility
Finale: practical tools for shared leadership across teams, clients, and communities
Builds equity, accountability, connection, and real cultural shift.
Let’s design your learning pathway.
Two core E-courses That Power the System
These two micro-learning e-courses form the backbone of the Leadership/Followership System. They make the program scalable, affordable, and easy to roll out across teams, departments, and entire organizations.
Be a leader people WANT to follow
Followership: The F-word that complements leadership
“Undergraduate students have embraced FlipU's "generative partnership" language with joy, relief, and growing confidence. They find the framework refreshing and empowering to gain traction in their leadership and followership roles on campus and in their communities. A definite win!”
–LORI THROUPE, Professor of Leadership Studies & Faculty Director of Academic Success, Christopher Newport University
“FlipU has provided the vocabulary and framework that adds value to the gravely undervalued "follower". Students and colleagues alike have adopted this framework in their respective roles and the feedback consistently reflects more respect, more production, and more joy!”
–LACEY GREY H. HUNTER, Director, President's Leadership Program, Christopher Newport University
