NEW - Leading Across Boundaries

Leading is no longer just about your own direct reports. In today's more fluid organisation, leaders must reconcile competing functional priorities and objectives, align efforts with a variety of organisational subcultures and often work across different sites and time zones. In other words, leaders must traverse and reach across corporate boundaries-structural, functional, geographic and cultural, among others. And they must do so despite complexity, ambiguity and lack of formal authority. In this programme, receive practical tools and techniques that will help you master the art and practice of influencing across traditional dividing lines. Apply your learning throughout as you develop the strategy, define the tactics and identify the actions needed to advance one of your high-priority, cross-boundary initiatives. Take away a set of new capabilities that will help you lead with impact across the specific boundaries that you face in your organisation.
