Geraldine Johns-Putra - Big-picture thinking & effecting change | S1 E12
In this episode, I talk about how embarking on the process of making a change in the world requires a shift in thinking.
The first shift is to begin to engage in systems thinking, to see the interlocking pieces of the whole puzzle. The second shift is to inquire into the accuracy and reliability of information that we take in. This leads to a shift in reassessing our own beliefs and assumptions and shedding those that no longer serve. Each of these leads to a person becoming a more effective change-maker.
Show notes
[1:07] I talk about my recent podcast interview with Patrick Andrews where Patrick explains how he began to look at the bigger complex picture in his journey to devise innovative corporate structures. This is systems thinking.
[2:31] Systems thinking is necessary for effective change-making because working in only one part of the whole without appreciating the problems and necessary solutions in the rest, will render the effort nugatory.
[4:51] I provide as an example of this the broader education I embarked on, including the books I read, in an effort to understand the systems impacted by and impacting upon my work in profit-with-purpose enterprises .
[7:22] Linking up and collaborating with people who are working on solutions in other parts and other systems that complement your work is one of the benefits of systems thinking,
[8:51] Another shift occurs once systems thinking is engaged, which is an appreciation that a lot of information we absorb is focussed on only one piece of the puzzle - thus causing us to begin to healthily question the accuracy and completeness of the information we access.
[10:38] Critically examining every piece of information we come across can at first lead to a sense of disorientation but eventually leads us to strengthen our own inner guidance system.
[11:44] Another interesting phenomenon is that past information we have accepted also comes under scrutiny, which can cause a questioning of assumptions and belief structures.
[13:55] As we do this work, we become aware of and can see more clearly the programming that other people are carrying around with them.
[14:41] All of this is part of the journey of accumulating experience while becoming a more effective changemaker.
