Edith Onderick-Harvey wrote in Harvard Business Review about five behaviors of leaders who embrace change. Since change is constant, we’re discussing these five behaviors this week.
The fifth behavior is to “look for boundary-spanning partnerships.” Many businesses have departments or silos that hinders a unified approach to advancing the business.
A large bank 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 us 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.
