Like an ecosystem in nature, functional and departmental groupings in an organization are interconnected and interdependent, with the health of one group impacting all others in the system.Organizations are made up of a complex web of relationships, processes and infrastructures that create the natural environment in which team members operate. While each team member has his or her own role to play, they knowingly or unknowingly create ripple effects throughout the entire enterprise.

My guru Besol Lopez explained to me that there is no escaping this inevitability, especially in a VUCA world. VUCA, it turns out, is an acronym that perfectly describes the reality we live in, and the everyday situations that we are forced to navigate: Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous. According to Besol, the best response to VUCA – quite interestingly – is also VUCA: Vision, Understanding, Context, and Agility. By applying each response properly to the appropriate situations, leaders can become excellent problem solvers, regardless of what they inherited.

Why and how to apply Systems Thinking to the design, structure and day-to-day running of your organisation. In The Search for Leadership, Bill Tate showed how leadership needs to be considered from an organisational perspective rather than from the conventional perspective of developing individual leaders. Now, in the Systemic Leadership Toolkit, he has put together a practical guide that addresses this need. Based on the author's extensive consultancy work on leadership issues, the Toolkit uses a Systems Thinking approach and a series of self-assessment questionnaires to guide you through the entire improvement process.

In our series we've been talking specifically about digital transformation but it is true for any major shift.

New approaches show engineers how leadership is the natural extension of engineering—making it more attractive to become a leader. While an engineer may be hired for technical skills, these skills become obsolete within a few years without considerable updating as technology advances. Nevertheless, other aspects of their skill set, notably problem solving and systems thinking, readily transfer to leadership. When an engineer can see an organization as a system, he or she can readily appreciate how finding good leverage points can bring about dramatic and beneficial change.

Jean Martin of insight and technology firm CEB predicts that future leaders will be brought into firms for short periods to do specialist tasks. There will need to be a shift in leadership development towards strategic thinking, managing information and critical thinking. And a new emphasis on systems thinking. It may mean using coaches rather than line managers. There are some profound implications for MBA programmes too. In 30 years' time, there will be leadership micro-learning opportunities everywhere.

Knowledge is the conceptual representation of our common world. Knowledge mediates both our experiential inputs and our behavioral outputs. Hence, the more accurate one's knowledge is, the greater one's benefit to the world. The better one's interpretations of one's experiential inputs are; the better one's behavioral outputs will be, and the better the changes these effect in our common world.
