Breaking Silos - Mastering Cross Boundary Leadership in Modern Organisations develops leaders to lead more effectively—up, down, across, and outside their organisations.
"Why can't these people work together" - any CEO awake at night wondering
Today, organizations are becoming flatter, going global, and constantly reaching into new markets, new products, and new technologies. As a result, leaders are increasingly required to lead not just “down” in their business units, but also “across and out”
The ability to collaborate across boundaries has become a pillar of most organizations’ growth or performance-improvement strategies.
When leaders cannot collaborate across boundaries, productivity slumps due to turf battles and slow decisions; innovation is
impeded because people’s intelligence and creativity go untapped. Unfortunately, poor cross-boundary collaboration is common.
