As the world faces multiple resource constraints and complex, global challenges, learning how to build relationships, handle conflict, share control and deliver results together has never been more important.
For Boards… For Leaders… For Organisations…

Collaborative leadership
– building relationships, handling conflict, sharing control
We wrote our book – now in its second edition – to support leaders who need an accessible, informative and practical guide to effective leadership in today’s connected world. Part 1 introduces a collaborative leader’s toolkit. Part 2 considers collaborative leaders in action. Each chapter is underpinned by surveys of business leaders, and new research and relevant case studies.

We have been commissioned by Governance magazine to write a series of articles based on our regular Socia roundtable dinners – where we invite groups of Board members to contribute to wide ranging discussions on topics of mutual interest, under Chatham House rules. You can read copies of all these articles here.
