Leaders Who Successfully Embrace Change | Foster Collaboration

A recent Harvard Business Review featured an article by Edith Onderick-Harvey about five behaviors of leaders who embrace change. Today we’ll look at the final behavior, look for boundary-spanning partnerships.

Many businesses have departments––or silos––that hinder a unified approach to advancing business. This wasn’t the case with a large bank. It had a technology change that was going to impact many different departments. A team was formed that included key people from each of the departments. 

This approach allowed employees to learn and address the unique challenges for each department, resulting in a unified resolution to the problem.

Psalm 133:1 says, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”

Boundary spanning partnerships can help your organization strive towards working more effectively in unity.
