Bridging Boundaries: Meeting the Challenge of Workplace Diversity
Today's leaders face a daunting task: bridging identity boundaries among groups of people with very different histories, perspectives, values, and cultures. The role of boundary-spanning leadership is to facilitate cross-boundary interactions, thereby creating the linkages necessary to move ideas, information, people, and resources where they are needed most. Four boundary-spanning tactics—suspending, reframing, nesting, and weaving—can ease the way to positive cross-boundary interactions.
Branching Out: Social Identity Comes to the Forefront
Your social identity—the parts of your identity that come from belonging to particular groups, including those based on age, nationality, ethnicity, race, religion, and gender—informs the way you lead. And the social identities of those around you affect how they view you as a leader and how they view, and thus work with, others. By developing your awareness of social identity, you can decrease your likelihood of misunderstanding others, increase your openness to different perspectives, and enhance your skill at accurately interpreting situations that call on your ability to lead.
