The practice of leadership in the 21st century takes place in a dynamic, global, interdependent world of great complexity. Our practice of leadership requires an awareness that is commensurate with the characteristics of this world to which we belong and within which we take action. Key to the development of this awareness is systems thinking. Such thinking can be understood as the capacity to perceive the world as relational, dynamic, and interdependent. A systemic worldview enables us to contextualize the dynamic events that make up our lives and to recognize the ways to influence these events. The course presents new theory and conceptual models for diagnosing and interpreting the dynamics within human systems and integrates many of the conceptual models learned in previous courses. The course applies specific systems models to the analysis of organizational problems rooted in learners’ practices. Throughout the course and culminating in a final project, students examine an adaptive leadership challenge through a systems thinking lens and identify leverage points and opportunities for systemic change.
