I came across this interesting article emphasising on the focus of a few central tasks to help leaders foster better collaboration.
The main issue, is that of managing teams that don't report to you as well as the barriers built up through silos.
Moreover many projects fail because the “ownership of processes and information is fragmented and zealously guarded, and roles are designed around parochial requirements, and the resulting internal complexity hinders sorely needed cross-business collaboration.” this is according to Mckinsey's report.
According to the article, if you want to co-lead a project successfully, you would need to focus on the following three tasks:
1 - get a broad agreement on core problem to solve.
2 - negotiate resources amongst each unit in the organisation.
3- find common grounds amongst the different units.
For me these, points are quite important and I can see how 'not' following these tasks could lead to a breakdown of agreements between each unit which is something detrimental to the organisation.
