What are the skills and mindsets necessary to be a backbone leader for a collaborative?
In this new podcast discussion, we talk with Paul Schmitz and Dominique Samari, authors of the recent report, “Backbone Leadership Is Different.” We explore how backbone leadership is unique and why It differs from traditional, more hierarchical leadership styles. In the discussion, we dive into:
- The specific mindset shifts required in backbone leadership;
- The skill sets that are crucial for effective backbone leadership;
- The importance of building relationships as a vital aspect of backbone leadership(and why it’s necessary that relationship-building be specified as part of the backbone’s work, and not considered an add-on or “on the side”.)
- Advice and insights on how backbone leaders can effective support collaboratives.
