Managing Inter-Unit Relations

Leaders need to work across different parts of an organization to get things done. Boundaries exist everywhere—between departments, teams, regions, and even with outside partners like customers and suppliers. These divisions can make it harder to collaborate and come up with new ideas, so leaders need to be good at crossing these boundaries. By doing this, they can help their organization succeed and increase the value of their culture.

How can you create more opportunities for collaboration across units, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued?

🚀 High-Performance Examples:

• Working Together Across Departments: Great leaders bring together different teams to work towards a common goal.
• Involving Outside Partners: They partner with people from outside the organization or unit, like customers and suppliers, to find better solutions.
• Respecting Differences: Effective leaders understand and respect different perspectives, which helps them make better decisions.
• Leading Without Authority: They know how to guide and influence others, even when they don’t have direct control.
