Why systems leadership
Leading across boundaries
The programme is designed for aspiring leaders who share a passion for leadership and for applying shared systems in the workplace.
Systems leadership gives leadership and management teams the ability to communicate and collaborate across a range of capabilities and levels of work. The aim is to assess and manage the impact of people and systems on an organisation’s agility and resilience.
It brings together three areas: the system (insight into complex systems), the community (building coalitions and advocacy) and the individual (collaborative leadership skills).
