Abstract: To achieve the vision of e-government, organisations across the federal, state and local government are challenged to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and to afford citizens the same access to information and services they have come to expect from e-business. E-government also has the potential to foster participation in governance. To achieve e-government objectives, leaders must collaborate across boundaries with their counterparts in other departments, organisations, and levels of government. In 2002, the Information Resources Management College, National Defense University, began focusing on the development of cross-boundary leadership as the foundation of its new e-government Leadership Certificate.

Keywords: e-government; cross-boundary leadership; collaboration; education; electronic government.
