"...???an invaluable contribution to anyone charged with shaping organizations, big and small."
DON KETTL, author, The Next Government of the United States
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 collaborationespecially 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."
