Initiateboundarylessleadership

 Business leaders need to become more boundaryless, update their “divide and conquer” methodologies, take a holistic, integral, and iterative approach to solve over-complex problems cohesively. 

Information permeates everywhere in the organization; digital technologies blur the functional, business, industrial and geographical territories so information or ideas can flow more freely across the business ecosystem.

 Organizations become boundaryless, leadership and management becomes interdisciplinary. The linear perception should be updated by the nonlinear, holistic understanding. Being boundaryless suggests a genuine sense of exploration or simply innovative problem-solving.



Boundaryless leadership: Silo is part of reality and creates a wall in people’s mindset. People create conflicts between different groups that have their own senses of belief, value, common sense. This may cause individuals or the group of people to rationalize their own sense of reality by ignoring others’ viewpoints. Thus, disagreements and antagonisms arise between groups, organizations, global societies. 

Cross-boundary leadership is in demand to be able to share advanced viewpoints, facilitate inclusive communication, appreciate the beauty of varieties, multifaceted values, and lead collective progress cross-geographically, cross-industrially, or cross-culturally. Boundaryless leaders are open minded, flexible, break down silo mentality, outdated rules, clarify cross-boundary communication and harness collaboration by paying attention to content, context, and style, develop world-class insight to co-solving common problems smoothly.

Boundaryless view & understanding: To overcome unconscious bias and conventional thinking of issues, boundaryless view and holistic thinking involves understanding an organization or societal system by sensing its large-scale patterns and addressing the big picture, to break down stereotyped or mechanistic viewpoints if they are outdated. It is the integration and search for new viewpoints that are holistic. 

Taking a holistic view of business helps the management understand business as a living system with interaction and interrelationship dynamic, diagnose the multi-cause of problems, develop a set of interdisciplinary practices for impoving business fluidity and agility.

Boundaryless business ecosystem:
Many organizations today not just work within the industry, but also permeate into a cross-ecosystem which is dynamic, continuous, and interactive. They need to awaken the ecosystem consciousness, start thinking about ways for becoming highly responsive and innovative. 

Such a dynamic, boundaryless ecosystem explicitly seeks to create an innovative working environment in which people can grow, business management focuses on long-term perspectives, dynamic resource alignment, harmonized business relationship, and scalable performance. The boundaryless ecosystem partners can communicate, participate, negotiate, and cooperate with each other to reinvent a superconscious organization.

The digital world is hyper-connected and interdependent; the collaborative platforms enable leaders and professionals to become more open-minded and insightful, integrate the critical components into differentiated competencies, and build a more modular, multi-layered and boundaryless organization. Business leaders need to become more boundaryless, update their “divide and conquer” methodologies, take a holistic, integral, and iterative approach to solve over-complex problems cohesively.
