To think systems, we have to give up cause-and-effect thinking. Everyone in a particular system is influencing and being influenced all the time.

The process of researching, studying, and writing the book The Leader’s Journey changed the trajectory of our lives. In this series, we are joined by our co-author Dr. Robert Creech and together we’ll be going over some key ideas from the book and the impact those ideas have had and are having on our lives.

Conversation Overview: 

• What is a living system?
• How does systems thinking differ from other ways of seeing the world?
• What is the effect of systems thinking on leadership?
• How can a leader learn to manage self in those predictable triangles?
• What are some ways we can practice emotional maturity while we’re under pressure?
