E. 2.9 - Season 02 Review: Models of Leadership in Systems Change

When we set out on this season, it was all about the great unknown of complex, adaptive systems. Scary, right?

I’ll admit, I was a little unsure myself whether we would be able to make systems thinking a little less intimidating and ultimately helpful to how we foster, build, and nourish ecosystems for change in our communities.

After hearing from our seven guests, I hope that things are a little less unknown. 

Let’s break it down and see what we can take away from this season.

Listen to the full episode to hear:

• How thinking and acting in complex, adaptive systems actually come naturally to humans, if we let it
• Why we need to let go of the illusion of control and linear thinking in order to take on the challenges we face
• How interconnectivity and mutualism are essential to social change
• Why we need to slow down in order to build meaningful solutions in community
• What kind of mindset shifts are required for leaders in complex, adaptive systems
