You know, when we have cross-departmental challenges, one of the things that we always have to remember is it starts with leadership as well. If the leaders aren't communicating, we can't expect our people to communicate. It's a little hypocritical. If you happen to be a leader, make sure that you're scheduling regular sessions with other departmental leaders, always maintaining a focus on how do we continue to communicate and collaborate effectively and successfully. So one of the things that we talk about with the rotating peer-to-peer conversations in one of our other podcast episodes is also to have literally targeted meetings to talk about how are we communicating, how are we collaborating, what are we doing well, where do we need to improve?

And when we do those things, guess what happens? We elevate the awareness from leadership. We elevate our opportunity to coach our people. We elevate our people's perspective, knowing we're meeting with other departmental leaders with this focus. See, often we react to problems when it comes to cross-departmental challenges. When the problems occur, we wait for something wrong to happen. Leaders need to schedule things to always maintain them being or becoming right. Now the other thing that is really a very unique idea is not only to get together, but get everybody together and have leaders from other departments acknowledge team members from other leaders' teams and that cross-departmental acknowledgement will accelerate collaboration and communication.
