    "Stretch Collaboration" - Helping Board Directors Span Differences to Solve Tough Problems

    Another fascinating Collaboratorium podcast this time with my guest Adam Kahane.  Adam is the author of Solving Tough Problems, about which Nelson Mandela said: “This breakthrough book addresses the central challenge of our time: finding a way to work together to solve the problems we have created.”  I have been fascinated by the complexity and fragility of Adam’s multi-stakeholder engagements so I always wanted to find a way to connect him to my leadership and governance networks to have him share some of his facilitation lessons including his insights on how to work with people you don't agree with or like or trust (the theme of one of his most recent books).
