Course description
In an increasingly complex world, we must rely on our colleagues across department, organizational, and cultural boundaries in order to get things done. The challenge of coming together to get things done is considerable. People have different agendas, action items, responsibilities, and assumptions. Yet, to be successful, we must develop productive relationships and successfully manage differences. In this workshop, we learn about what it takes to cross the “white spaces” effectively and achieve results.
