Building Bridges, Not Barriers

You've noticed that two divisional leaders have developed a risk-averse and defensive posture, which has led to a confrontational dynamic with other parts of the organization. This behavior has become an impediment to collaboration and problem-solving, which is hurting the overall effectiveness of the organization. You want to find a way to engage these leaders and help them shift from being protectors to partners, who are focused on service and collaboration. This approach focuses on helping them see the benefits of collaboration and incrementally shifting their mindset from defensiveness to openness.
