What do we mean by systems leadership? And how does it relate to systems change?
Ideas about both systems thinking and systems change have become prominent over the last few years, but the terms are often poorly defined and used with a range of meanings.
I suggest that there are broadly six types or flavours of systems leadership, all of which have key implications for systems change. And, of course, they can overlap.
1. Systems leadership as a form of better leadership
This is inclusive, mobilising, and systems aware leadership.
