Leaders need an expanding repertoire of skills to succeed in today's fast paced and highly competitive business environment. The ability to lead collaboratively across organizational boundaries is especially important.

This White Paper details the key dimensions of collaborative leadership and the capacities that leaders must develop to excel at leading networked global teams, building dynamic partnerships, and creating more collaborative cultures that allow companies to harness the collective intelligence of all stakeholders.

The paper also offers practical tips for overcoming the most common organizational barriers to collaborative leadership. The companies that most effectively integrate collaborative leadership in their organizational cultures will be those with the greatest chance of success globally.

This document is the outcome of the conversations that took place during the Oxford Leadership Café in Amsterdam hosted by Akzo Nobel.
