Leading Across Boundaries

Created as a companion to Linden's Working Across Boundaries, this book is filled with illustrative examples of collaborations–both successful ventures and those that have failed. These examples can help leaders anticipate, prevent, and deal with the most vexing challenges to collaboration. In addition, the author offers expert guidance on leveraging emerging trends in this field, including the use of social-networking tools on the Web. Based on a clear framework, Leading Across Boundaries includes the practical and time-tested tools needed to tackle any difficulties that confront collaborative leaders.

Leading Across Boundaries offers public managers and nonprofit leaders a wealth of new material, case studies, and instructive international examples. In-depth case studies–drawn from education, health and human services, law enforcement, finance, intelligence agencies, the arts, and other fields–are available online.
