Book description
Praise for Leading Across Boundaries
"Leading Across Boundaries is a terrific resource for nonprofit
leaders. It is filled with great stories of collaboration, and also
with the how-to's to make them work!"
-Arlene Kaukus, former
president, United Way of Buffalo and Erie County, and a nonprofit consultant
"Linden illustrates the importance of collaboration, but drives
further into issues of networks to teach us valuable lessons about
core interests, trust, leadership, and success. This book is a very
valuable and timely resource for practitioners who seek to produce
more value from effective collaboration."
-Stephen
Goldsmith, Daniel Paul Professor of Government, Kennedy School of
Government, Harvard University, and author, The Power of Social Innovation
"Linden provides a fresh, practitioner-oriented perspective on
the topic of collaboration-especially for those in the public and
nonprofit sectors wanting to benefit from Web 2. 0 and
social-networking technologies. It's a gem of a book and a terrific
road map for leading change."
-Warren Master, president and editor-in-chief, The Public Manager
"Linden uses fabulous examples to illustrate the essential ideas
for collaboration and for effective leadership. His discussions of
political acumen and the interpersonal side of collaboration are
especially enlightening. I've been a manager for a long time, and wish
I'd read this book earlier in my career!"
-Ellen Switkes,
assistant vice president emeritus, academic advancement, office of the
president, University of California
"Trust, transparency, and relationships are keys to successful
collaboration. Linden takes these concepts and more and constructs a
masterful lesson plan for us to follow."
-Tim Longo, police
chief, Charlottesville, Virginia
