Context for Collaboration
In a tumultuous swiftly changing environment, in a world of multiple colliding systems, the hierarchical position of leaders within their own system is of limited value, because some of the most critically important tasks require lateral leadership -- cross boundary leadership --involving groups over whom they have no control
.Slide3
Context for Collaboration (2)
Leaders who do not collaborate are not serving the long-term interests of their constituents.
Leaders must live harmoniously with the systems that impinge on their institution. Leaders work across boundaries not only to achieve the goals of their own system, but to help our communities and our nation to survive and flourish.Slide4
What is Collaboration?
Collaboration: An unnatural act among consenting adults
Collaboration: Entities recognize none can succeed without others. Each has unique capabilities others need. Collaboration: Tailor made for needs, problems, and opportunities that manifest novelty, complexity, uncertainty, and interdependent relationships.Slide5
