How Can We Create a Culture of System Leadership?

Gandhi, Susan B. Anthony, Nelson Mandela - We remember the names of great leaders, but not all of them change the world. These leaders can promote collective movements that change ideas and thoughts and promote dynamic problems with complex systems.

In my blog post "Why not?" I talked about how complicated the world in which we live is difficult to understand and understand. That is why leaders are included in the system view when making strategies.

Leaders striving to promote social change while applying system thinking are part of a new system leadership culture. These leaders can be individuals or organizations committed to creating conditions for others to help them grow and improve the world.

When we had lunch with a powerful leader who created the American education, we discussed what we have recently read and shared her insights from "dawn of system leadership" and read it. 6 times

If you have not read the articles written by Peter Senge, Hal Hamilton, and John Kania, please periodically read and review this article and gain insight into what you need to become a complex world system leader .

Specifically, the three leadership skills they outlined deeply resonate with what they did in the Omidyar network.

The first is that you can see a larger system. That's why we built the ability to incorporate system mapping and other system practices into our strategic work.

The second ability is to promote reflection and a more generous dialogue. In order to create a more effective "learning infrastructure", incorporate important activities such as portfolio review and post action review into the business cycle to create a system reflection space for the team.

The third function focuses on shifting collective concerns from post-response type problem solving to future co-creation. Perhaps the best example is the work we are developing and collaborating to influence investment movements and it develops a new way to use important capital for investment to create social benefits doing.

The leader is responsible for creating a system that allows them to learn and share knowledge continuously with them. With curiosity strong, leaders can strengthen leadership, build culture that overcomes obstacles and does the same for other people. Attracting your natural curiosity means truly opened learning and valuable knowledge. I saw that the leaders could easily be victims of culture, satisfied, and find them working hard to create a positive change. In order to overcome this, let's explore how to use curiosity to improve your leadership game.

The answer lies in culture. The whole purpose of leadership is to create culture. For large and mature organizations, it is difficult for outsiders to implement new cultures. So, does leadership create culture, or culture leadership? The answer to both questions is positive. "I have been here for 25 years," said the head of the big city. "So far, I will exceed three city managers, my grades will be higher than this." This is the attitude facing many leaders. It is a mature company. Negative culture harms positive leadership, especially as administrators interested in old cultures actively weaken these initiatives. Negative culture, whether skillful or satisfactory, may pose a major challenge to change.
