The leader thinks, “How do I get my people to do what needs to be done if my positional power diminishes?” or “How can I trust my supplier with proprietary information?” or “How can I partner with a company in one area and compete with them in another?” These are all legitimate questions, but reframing the boundaries doesn’t mean ignoring the answers. It means respecting the boundaries but also being willing to transcend them when the situation warrants.
