Interesting piece here from Heidrick & Struggles about the importance of being able to lead across boundaries. Prompted me to reflect on how many there are: - between vertical units (siloes) - inside and outside the organisation - top to bottom - between geographies - between mindsets (eg past - present - future focused) What other boundaries are there that need leadership to cross? https://lnkd.in/eV9QpaJc

4moReally interesting perspectives, as well as data in the other links, Alan Arnett. Something I wish CEOs today would be crossing more boundaries on is human capital. Taking a look at it holistically, from the top. Today's issues need an inquisitive mindset, first, and a visionary solution. Neither are typically found in siloed operational functions, and rarely among CxOs. I would bet that the candidate horror stories so common lately translate into massive cost and risk for organizations, which the organization could mitigate, if they understood the root cause. Punch line is: the root cause isn't on the candidate side as they are probably believing to be the case.
