Leading public sector interorganizational collaboration in healthcare: Lessons from the intersection of climate and health.

Abstract

It is generally accepted that wicked problems cannot be addressed by a single organization and require multiorganizational arrangements across governmental jurisdictions and sectoral boundaries. Health leaders increasingly are being called upon to lead collaborative initiatives. However, doing so is fraught with complexity. This article draws on relevant organizational literature and an empirical study focused on public sector collaboration for the purpose of fostering climate resilience in the health system to put forward four guidelines for collaborative leaders.
