In this age of global interconnection, leaders need to go beyond their traditional focus on managing and protecting group boundaries and work toward boundary-spanning leadership–bridging intergroup boundaries in order to achieve a shared vision or goal.

What is far less clear is the meaning of respect and which behaviors people from various cultures see as respectful.

Ask someone in one country or culture what he or she looks for in an effective leader, and the answer is likely to be different from that of someone in another country or culture.

When you want your organization to buy into your ideas, there are two important things to consider. The first is scanning your organization's environment to determine such things as how well each idea fits with the organization's goals and what level of support you'll need from key people. The second is collecting a set of tactics you can use to begin communicating and implementing your ideas. Doing these two things will improve your chances of accomplishing your objective—solving a problem or making an improvement for the benefit of everyone.
