Today’s most pressing business challenges span boundaries. So too must leadership. Senior executives agree, but say that spanning wide-ranging functional, stakeholder, and geographic boundaries is easier said than done. What really matters is how leaders collaborate to bridge these divides and transform wide-ranging talents and knowledge to deliver value. This interactive session will help senior level HR leaders develop new insights and skills to think and act beyond current boundaries to achieve inspiring results. Drawing upon CCL’s landmark book, Boundary Spanning Leadership, you will:  

• Identify five type of boundaries that limit organizational effectiveness and the six boundary spanning practices to overcome them;
• Experience and take home a copy of CCL’s Boundary Explorer ™ tool to transfer the learning to their organizations; and
• Learn how organizations are advancing their cultures by putting boundary spanning leadership into action and how to create a collaborative operating system to sustain boundary spanning.
