Weaving
In Boundary Spanning Leadership, Ernst and Chrobot-Mason talk about Weaving – a key aspect of LAPH Phase II, Ideation. The authors note that the “practice of weaving enables leaders to draw out and integrate group differences within a larger whole." There are five tactics to weaving:
Clear the path for the larger collective goal.
Let different groups be different groups—capitalize on differences.
Connect the dots to larger collective goals.
Foster an interdependent group of groups.
Create interdependent goals that groups cannot achieve on their own.
Being an artful "weaver" is key to intersectoral leadership and to the implementation of your Applied Health Leadership Project!
