Boundary Spanning Leadership begins with a new understanding of the boundaries that confine and limit human relationships, whether they be vertical, horizontal, stakeholder, demographic, or geographic. It then outlines six key practices for leading at the nexus where groups collide, intersect, and link: Buffering, Reflecting, Connecting, Mobilizing, Weaving, and Transforming. And it leads to new possibilities and inspiring results that groups can realize together above and beyond what they can achieve on their own.
Join this webinar to learn more about this new leadership model, forthcoming from McGraw-Hill Professional and the Center for Creative Leadership (November 2010) and to learn how to transform today’s limiting borders into tomorrow’s limitless frontiers to solve problems, create innovative solutions, and to transform your organization to thrive in a flat world.
