Key Points:

• We invest Our Energy Differently. In a matrix where there are multiple managers or multiple teams to lead or work with, we need to think about how and where we invest our time and energy.

 

• We can't sit back and wait for things to happen. As a leader in matrix environments we need to be in the business of making things happen or influencing how things happen. This means having a strategic mindset, knowing how to lead up, knowing to deal with ambiguity and knowing how to make collaboration happen.

​

• Collaboration is central to effective matrix leadership.  Know how to make collaboration work - know who your invisible stakeholders are, and ensure the right people are being engaged.
