The Systems Leadership Approach. Session 3: Leading for Impact: Understanding Systems Thinking

Virtual via MS Teams.
Free

Everything that we do has a knock-on impact. The way we think, approach a situation, and solve an issue as system leaders constantly evolves. Systems thinking focuses on the processes and interactions that we have and the interconnection – it is squiggly. By understanding the relationships, complexities, and dynamics we’ll explore the benefits and challenges of the systems that you operate in and how to negotiate and influence with impact.

Learning outcomes:

  • Understanding systems thinking: appreciate the nuances of the system that we currently operate in, we’ll discuss system archetypes, feedback loops and types of systems mapping.
  • Influencing with Impact: identify your own natural style of influencing and how you can use this knowledge to help you enhance your leadership presence.
  • Principled negotiation: learn different ways to approach a negotiation based on the context and relationships involved. Review a practical structure for negotiation preparation and share best practice with ideas and discussion.
  • Relationships matter as a leader: by building and maintaining strong relationships, leaders can create a culture that fosters systems thinking and enables the development of effective solutions to complex problems.
