CHAPTER SUMMARY

HOT SPOTS BURNING BRIGHT ACROSS THE WORLD

Key Points

  • Anyone can flourish in a Hot Spot. However, the capacity and desire to work cooperatively across boundaries—to be a boundary spanner—can make a significant positive impact.
  • The context of the organization plays a key role in terms of practices, processes, values, and leadership behavior and assumptions.
  • It is the dynamic combination of a cooperative mindset, cross-boundary working, and an igniting purpose that can result in the emergence of a Hot Spot.
  • Hot Spots fade when any of these elements decays.
