Leading across boundaries: creating collaborative agencies in a networked world

Working Across Boundaries is a practical guide that both explores the interpersonal and organizational forces that inhibit collaboration and offers government and nonprofit leaders the tools to combat those forces. Linden provides concrete examples of both successful and unsuccessful collaborations; helps readers anticipate, prevent, and deal with the most vexing challenges to collaboration; and provides guidance on leveraging emerging trends in this field. Basedon the clear, directive framework he set forth initially in the first edition, Linden defines collaboration and gives readers the tools they need to tacklethe most difficult challenges that collaborative efforts may encounter. Linden's book is a necessity for readers seeking to learn from the lessons of nonprofit and public organizations that have dealt with the hard issues of collaboration. The new edition will have 40-50% new material, including updated case studies to include more international examples, in-depth case studies online, and new sections on trends.RUSSELL M.
