Collaboration Explorer™ is a prototype brought to you by CCL Labs at
the Center for Creative Leadership. We invite your feedback and
stories of application. Contact Charles J. Palus, palusc@ccl.org. or
David Magellan Horth, horthd@ccl.org
This tool is designed to help people talk about and improve
collaboration in their group or organization, and to learn about the
principles, practices, and action logics supporting a collaborative
leadership culture.
For stories and information visit our support blog at

Collaboration Explorer is based in part on the work of Dr. Edward
Marshall with colleagues at the Center for Creative Leadership.

collaboration.
II. To Determine Current State/Future State Leadership Culture
• To determine what their current and future state of leadership
cultures are in terms of collaborative principles and practices, and
then to decide how they will begin the journey of becoming more
collaborative and interdependent
III. For Boundary Spanning Leadership Action Steps
• The purple “action” cards can be used to select and implement
boundary spanning leadership practices
