Boundary Spanning Leadership
Boundary Spanning Leadership includes three overarching strategies along with six boundary spanning practices. Together, these approaches combine to create what the Center for Creative Leadership calls the Nexus Effect—the limitless possibilities and results that groups can realize together, which far exceed what they can achieve on their own. These include:
- Agility to respond to ongoing and emerging public health threats.
- Flexibility in cross-sectoral learning and problem solving.
- Speed in organizational innovation processes.
- Capability to work with vendors and partners in deeper, more open relationships.
- Diverse and inclusive organizations that bring out everyone’s best.
- Engaged and empowered teams.
Boundaries Exist
Learning to bridge these divisions and transform your organization's talents and knowledge is what matters most. Leaders who master boundaries can collaborate across functions and sectors, empower employees at all levels, develop cross-organizational learning, and drive creativity and innovation. With Boundary Spanning Leadership, the possibilities are limitless.
