**Part 4: Cross-Functional Application**
Today's complex organizations often require the smooth, integrated functioning of teams across several functional areas. Leading a team of diverse individuals is quite a challenge. Encouraging the effective collaboration of multiple teams of diverse individuals is even more challenging and requires skilled leaders who can understand and impart organizational vision to team members. Skilled leaders must also foster leadership skills in others to achieve collaboration and organizational success.
Imagine yourself in the complex situation of ensuring the integrated functioning of multiple teams on an organizational-wide initiative. Respond to the following in 250-500 words:
1. What knowledge and skills will you need to acquire on your own leadership development journey to successfully prepare for such a challenge? Provide specific strategies and examples.
2. Analyze two or three methods and approaches used to encourage a culture of collaboration within diverse teams, work groups, or organizations. Ensure that the methods and approaches link with the skills you identified above.
