Description

Leaders today—whether in corporations or associations, nonprofits or nations—face massive, messy, multidimensional problems. No one person or group can solve them alone—they require broad cooperation. Harvard scholar Dean Williams argues that our leadership models remain largely focused on individuals with formal authority leading in the interest of their own group. In this book, he outlines an approach that enables leaders to transcend internal and external boundaries and help people collaborate, even those over whom they have no formal power. Drawing on years of work in countries and organizations around the world, Williams shows leaders how to approach the delicate work of boundary spanning—whether boundaries are cultural, organizational, political, geographic, religious, or structural. Sometimes leaders themselves must cross the boundaries between groups. Otherwise, a leader's job is to build relational bridges between divided groups or to break down barriers that block collaborative problem solving. By rethinking power and authority, leaders can become change agents, able to heal wounds, resolve conflicts, and unite a fractured world.
