The Casual Connector

You know that if you don’t get people together quickly, the departure of this key colleague could cause chaos for your team and others. The problem is, these people don’t report to you, and the issues at hand go beyond your direct responsibilities. How can you get everyone on the same page? By hosting an informal discussion (maybe even over coffee or during lunch), you can raise awareness of the situation and kick-start collaborative conversations. This allows you to exert influence without stepping on anyone’s toes.
