Running a department is hard, especially when you have other departments that you rely on for support who are also relying on you for support. Too often we hear about the negative feelings from sales to marketing or customer success to sales. Unfortunately, the harmony we can create when cross-collaborating will never be perfect, but it can be developed.
Typically when cross-department relationships sour, it's due to a lack of expectation versus reality, and a lack of empathy towards the priorities and workload of each other’s department. This can lead to ineffective execution of GTM strategies, and further put your job at risk as a team, or department leader.
In this episode, viewers will learn:
- The pitfalls of cross-collaboration and how to set proper expectations
- What mutual benefits are of cross-collaboration and how to establish desired outcomes
- The 3 types of people working on projects with you and how to identify them.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
