ASTHO Boundary Spanning Leadership, Cross-Sector Partnerships in Brain Health

The Boundary Spanning Leadership (BSL) Training is designed to build leadership “capacity to establish direction, alignment, and commitment across boundaries in service of a higher vision or goal” (Ernst and Chrobot-Mason, 2010; Ernst and Yip, 2009). This capacity is vital within and across individuals, groups, teams, and organizations. BSL is used to develop strategies and practices to lead across boundaries, sectors, and differences to unlock innovation. This training will focus on applying BSL principles to addressing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia risk reduction.
