Recap from DisruptHR Columbia


Listen Later

DisruptHR Columbia was held on Thursday, May 2nd.  Our CEO, Tracy Eames, joined the event to talk about the importance of Cross Functional Leadership. Her talk “ Mind the Gap: Why Cross-Functional Leadership Is Imperative and Most Organizations Don’t Have It” was a reminder to leaders about the risk of leading from a silo. 

Have you ever felt like there are invisible gaps between your teams? Those mysterious black holes where projects and initiatives seem to disappear without a trace? If so, you're not alone.

While executives often emphasize the importance of fostering collaboration, empowering teams, and achieving shared success, there's a glaring discrepancy. Our reward systems and promotion criteria often prioritize individual contributions over team success. This begs the question: What can we do to bridge these gaps effectively?

DUring this talk Tracy explores the critical role of cross-functional leadership in driving organizational effectiveness. Successful cross-functional leaders transcend boundaries, foster collaboration, encourage team agility, execute multi-faceted strategies, and ultimately bridge those invisible gaps that hinder progress.
