If responsibility is anywhere, it is everywhere.

Margaret Rioch

Leadership cannot be exercised in the absence of followership, and responsibility for an organization’s success or failure cannot reside in any one person or function. For an organization to succeed, members at all levels must buy into its mission and purpose and understand their role in achieving it. Tracy Wallach works with organizations to develop responsible leadership and followership at all levels: how do individuals exercise their authority? Who gets authorized to work? By whom? For what? Do leaders and followers hold each other accountable? How does the organization authorize or de-authorize its members and leaders to work?

“Now I feel more assertive in what I want, able to deal with change better. My attitude towards life—even in my personal life— is different. I am looking at things differently. I feel more of a leader—my subordinates come to me for advice. Before I did most of the work—now I delegate effectively. Because of the course, when I am in difficult situations, I remember that there are other ways of dealing with crises.”

Judith Butagira, Country Director, Marie Stopes International—Uganda

Tracy served on the faculty of a 2 week course on "Strategic Leadership in Public Health," designing the curriculum for the sessions on group dynamics, communication, and application, as well as co-facilitating additional components of the course. Designed for public health officials from developing countries, the objective of the course was to increase self-knowledge in relation to others, to work groups, to their organizations and to the larger environment. On follow-up, course participants reported improved personal, interpersonal, and organizational performance.
