About this title

Synopsis

The most effective tools and techniques for managers who need to drive innovation across cultural, organizational, and geographic boundaries

Boundaries exist, whether among cultures or across physical distances. What matters most is how you work to bridge these divides to leverage their team's wide-ranging talents and abilities to deliver value. Powered by data from the Leadership Across Differences project, a global research initiative of The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), Boundary Spanning Leadership provides a world of vital guidance, tools, and knowledge that lets you resolve conflicts, eliminate miscommunication, and foster collaboration among diverse teams.

Built around Six Key Practices:

Buffering: Creating Safety
Reflecting: Fostering Respect
Connecting: Building Trust
Mobilizing: Developing Community
Weaving: Advancing Interdependence
Transforming: Catalyzing Reinvention

. . . Boundary Spanning Leadership will help you transform borders from flashpoints for conflict and limitation into the frontiers of break-through ideas and solutions, and ways to reinvent your organization.

Inside: The Shifting Leadership Landscape: Don't Look Now • Identity Groups: Work in a World of Us and Them • Boundary Mapping and Boundary-Setting Tactics: Drawing the Line • The Leader's Role: Fostering Collaboration • Toward a Creative, Collaborative Future

Store Description

Sharing is the best surprise When we share our excess with others we�re often surprised by what we feel, what changes in us, and who we get to know in the process. Sharehouse Goods exists to create that experience for as many people as possible. Sharehouse Goods receives excess stuff from individuals or organizations (our sharers), and then we liquidate that stuff, creating jobs for people in Milwaukee. The process is simple: we receive what people are willing to share, and then we sell it online or at our storefront, creating revenue for the sharers (to keep or to donate), and jobs for people who are struggling to find employment. There�s a lot of sharing going on, and even more surprises, at Sharehouse Goods.
